    Watch This if Learning Game Development is FRUSTRATING You

    In this episode of The Indie Game Development Podcast, we dive into the emotional rollercoaster of learning game development—especially when progress feels frustratingly slow. We'll talk about how the more you learn, the more you feel like a beginner again. You’ll hear honest stories about "nightmare dev days," when nothing seems to work—yet those are the days where you grow the most. We also explore why tutorials can only take you so far, and how real learning happens through applying knowledge to solve your own problems.   Dunning-Kruger Effect: https://expertprogrammanagement.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/The-Dunning-Kruger-Curve.png

    Let's Talk Game Dev: Slimekeep - The #2 Most Wishlisted Indie Game on Steam

    Join our Discord Community! Check us out on Youtube! In this episode of the Indie Game Development Podcast, I sat down with BenBonk to chat about making Slimekeep, his five-year journey, and what it’s like developing a game from high school to Steam. He shares about wishlists, hard work, and growing as a solo indie dev. BenBonk started Slimekeep in grade 9. Five years later, it became one of the most wishlisted indie games on Steam. This is his story about how Slimekeep came to life, from a game jam game to a hit indie title. No hype—just a real talk with BenBonk about making a game he believed in.
