In this episode of The Indie Game Development Podcast, I get real about something that’s been on my mind as a game developer: I suck at art. Like, really suck.
The point of this episode is to talk about making games when you’re not great at art right NOW without spending years learning and honing your art skills.
The big takeaway? You don’t need to be an art expert to make a great game!

Game development can incredibly hard due to the need to master various technical and creative skills, alongside the demands of marketing and handling feedback.
Balancing these tasks with personal responsibilities can lead to stress, burnout, and self-doubt.
In this episode, we talk about how to succeed by prioritizing self-care and recognizing signs of burnout, tackling the most stressful tasks first to maintain productivity, and strike a balance between discipline and flexibility.

In this episode of The Indie Game Development Podcast, I dive into one of the toughest questions in game development: "Why should players care about your game?"
With so many games flooding the market, it’s crucial to make yours stand out, and figuring out why players should invest their time and money is the key.
As developers, we often get lost in what we think is cool, instead of focusing on what will resonate with players. I also introduce a tool called the Customer Value Proposition (CVP) to help you break down your game's unique appeal and market it effectively.
Marketing isn't something to dread—it's about communicating why your game deserves attention.
