  1. Being a dad and game developer - Matt Dabrowski creator of Streets of Rogue

    Being a dad and game developer - Matt Dabrowski creator of Streets of Rogue

    Matt has been in and out of the game development and software industries. At a point in his life where everything lined up, he was able to devote a solid few months full-time to complete his game Streets of Rogue. After presenting his game at GDC, he picked up a publisher who helped promote it to the success it is today. Matt's journey is truly inspiring and unconventional. I feel a lot of people will be in this situation now, and maybe it's the best time for you to build your game.

    Right out of university into full time game developer: Jonas Tyroller master creator of Will You Snail? and co-creator of Islanders.

    Jonas Tyroller has done what most of us dream of: go to university to study games, build a game with friends, release it, and make a living. Now he turns his focus to a game he was building before Islanders called Will You Snail?, a rage game that is based on prediction AI. Jonas explains his amazing understanding of platformer game development and goes into masterful detail about his life to date.
