How to Assemble an Indie Team

IndieGameBusiness® ·

2022/10/17

At some point, most indie game teams dream of making a smash hit title but in the very beginning, they would always face some hurdles. It is fine if one is comfortable being a one-man army but to create something significant one may need to assemble a dream team. When I started out, there was no specific guidance available regarding indie team formation or how to manage that and so I navigated the journey on my own for quite a while. In this session, I will share my encounters and will focus on

Fostering a People First Studio

IndieGameBusiness® ·

2022/10/13

Our relationships with our studios and the way we work for them are changing at a rapid pace. For many, working from home has surfaced and emphasized how removed we are from our studio goals and teams, and it can leave us feeling undervalued, overtaxed, and disconnected - feelings that aren't healthy for the team member or the studio! I believe this can be alleviated by taking a People-First approach to studio building and leadership - people as the co-pilots of the plane, not just the fuel. I'll

2022/09/29

Top game development teams know that regular playtesting is the difference between a successful launch, and being forgotten at the bottom of the Steam charts.

This discourages small teams from doing playtesting, which has an impact on the quality of their games - issues are often not discovered until when it's too late to fix and fewer options
