In this episode of The Indie Game Development Podcast, we'll dive into the realities of going full-time as an indie game developer. While I’m all for chasing your dreams, the journey is often far more challenging than expected. That said, the rewards are unmatched. This episode is really all about preparing you for the journey so you can pursue your passion with open eyes.

Dive into the raw, unfiltered journey of building a game studio from the ground up with The Indie Game Development Podcast. Hosted by the duo behind Sasquatch B Studios, this podcast chronicles a high-stakes personal adventure-they quit their jobs and sold their house to fund their creative dream. Each episode moves between the granular details of development and the broader emotional landscape, tackling everything from coding challenges and art direction to the psychological toll and unexpected victories of indie life. The conversation is grounded in their own daily experiences but regularly expands to include insightful interviews with well-known developers and dev-loggers, where they dissect industry trends and pose the tough questions every creator faces. This isn't just a technical manual; it's a companion for anyone navigating the chaotic, rewarding world of making games independently. You'll hear authentic stories of struggle and breakthrough, practical discussions on tools and tech, and the collective wisdom of a community built on passion. For developers, aspiring creators, or simply the curious, this podcast offers a genuine look behind the curtain at what it truly takes to build something from nothing.
