    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.

    How to Make a Game When You SUCK at Art

    Join our Discord Community: https://discord.com/invite/aHjTSBz3jH Check us out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@sasquatchbgames 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!

    Make constant progress in your game using THIS method

    Join our Discord Community: https://discord.com/invite/aHjTSBz3jH Check us out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@sasquatchbgames 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.
