A few years back, we said goodbye to a stable income and sold our house to chase our dream of making games with no guarantee it would work out. Many thought we were crazy, we may even have questioned it ourselves, but here we are over two years later still at it. And now, as requested by our Patrons we've decided to give an inside look, answering your questions, to celebrate our Youtube channel surpassing 20K subscribers. No topic is off limits in this one, we'll be answering questions about financial struggles, our personal lives, and of course game dev. 

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.
