Damien Dessagne is the CEO of Embers, developer of Strayed Lights (2023) and Maxime Philipp is the project's game Director. I discovered Strayed Lights at PAX East 2023. Strayed Lights is a 3D action game with a wordless story and very disctinct visuals. I played it on Playstation, but you can also get it on Xbox, Switch, and PC. The gameplay is difficult, demanding, and ultimately rewarding. I recommend it! In this episode we will discuss creating a game dev company, project management, wordless storytelling, designing boss battles, playtesting, developing a tutorial, creating platform-specific features for your multi-platform game, hitting deadlines, showing your game at PAX, inflation in the games industry, and much more.

Sam and Kostia are making a game called Copycat, a game where you play as a cat and learn what a home is and what causes you to develop a sense of belonging.

The Indie Devs That Are Gonna Kill It on PSVR2 | Lucky's Tale Impressions | PSVR GAMESCAST LIVE

On this episode of Got Our Attention, Mike and Bruno are on assignment so Brian and Kelly hold down the fort. We learn that Kelly knows absolutely nothing about Harry Potter, shocking Brian and the audience in chat. Brian is kind enough to educate her, but we suspect Mike will be organizing a Harry Potter intervention for her soon. Brian also gives us the history behind the two-fingered/European version of ‘the bird' which is fascinating! We also find out how great Brian is at blowing eggs. In Kelly's Korner, we hear about a hiker from Brooklyn who has to be rescued. From a snowy mountain trail. Twice. In two consecutive days. Will wonders never cease? Also, bless his heart… Also: Microsoft is developing a solution for Indie Devs that may give them a serious leg up. Do you suffer from sweaty gamer hands too? Then you should pass on the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Xbox Series S sweepstakes. You're never going to believe how much money Fortnite has raised for Ukraine! The Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed game should be release in Q4 2022. Guess who was a developer on Windows 1.0. Netflix gets their FFPS (that's First First Person Shooter) mobile game. GGWP may have the answer to in-game toxicity. GOTM: Tuesday Night Trivia What We've Been Playing: Martha is Dead (still) Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (Looking forward too) Tunic On a more serious note, we've started a fundraiser to help aid those in Ukraine.

When you start sharing your game with the world, everything you do from then on deals with messaging. While you may have a good idea of what your studio and game are, sometimes how you convey that to others isn't in the clearest or concise way. That's why Mustapha and I are here to help discuss how important it is to clarify your messaging and some tips on ways you can do that, so when you start promoting your game, people have a clear idea of exactly what to expect from you.

Out of all the different ways that games can get attention, the method that has stood the longest has been events. While major events like E3 started with different intentions compared to today, it's a telling sign how the event landscape has shifted for numerous reasons, but one being the continued growth of indie games. Discussing everything from changing times, format, and delivery of these events, Mustapha and I talk about the impact major events have had but more importantly ways to view and approach them as an opportunity to stand out.

The Walt Disney Corporation's Games division is apparently signaling that it's open licensing its characters and settings to a broader group of game developers. In a conversation with IGN's Rebekah Valentine, Disney SVP of Walt Disney Games Sean Shoptaw & VP of Disney & Pixar Games Luigi Priore dropped some tantalizing comments both about unannounced upcoming titles, but also what kinds of developers the company is open to partnering with in the coming years. Their comments seem to indicate the company is actively interested in fielding pitches from indie developers to make games using its characters, alongside larger triple-A licensors like Ubisoft and Electronic Arts.

They managed to wrangle a real life Triple A Game Developer in the form of Carlos Sanchez who has worked on some seriously huge games like Madden, Destiny 1 & 2 and the Forza Horizon 4! They get super in-depth about what it's like during the process of creating a game with budgets in the millions, how to keep calm, how to stay focused and even the feeling of only shipping 20% of the game you want to make! It can be a huge task moving from one franchise to another and especially during the next gen shift like we're seeing with the Series X and the PS5 so the Burrito Bois felt tasked with finding out all the advice they could for up and coming game developers and Indie Devs who are looking for some tips! A heads up later in the episode there are SPOILERS FOR DESTINY 2, please be aware going in. Jordan being a HUGE Destiny fan has to know Carlos' favourite character it's probably Nathan Fillions character!   Make sure to check out Carlos' Twitch Channel SarynnTV here ---> https://www.twitch.tv/sarynntv   We hope you enjoy this episode and if you have any feedback or comments please contact us on griefburrito@gmail.com Our Socials ---> https://linktr.ee/griefburrito    Want up to 90% off all the latest games?!

Creating awareness for your game and building a community will always be a challenge for indie devs. There are lots of ways to do this, but one that a lot of devs seem to gravitate to is Twitter. While organic reach on Twitter is strong, it can still be a challenge to develop effective awareness strategies that convert into a community while still working on your game. That’s why Niclas Marie is going to share his methods and tips on how you can ramp up your Twitter presence and still be able to focus on development.

During the pre-dev and early stages of development, there is a lot that indie devs need to focus on and be aware of outside of making their game. That also means a lot of distractions can arise, making it a challenge to keep a pulse on the market and build their brand.

The marketing of indie games must always be consumer-focused, ensuring that your product fulfills a need and relevant place in a gamer’s collection. However, it can be difficult to determine what a customer really wants.

It’s a big question we all face at one point or another. When does an indie dev get to the point where they should seriously consider taking it to the next step and form their own company. Starting any kind of side venture, it may be a big step but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take things seriously. At the very least, having some idea of what you want to do is important.  In this episode, Mustapha and I share our own personal experiences with forming our own companies, what the procedure was like for us and what we learned from it so you don’t have to sweat the small stuff when deciding if forming a company is right for you!

Ellie's work can be found on her itch.io page. G2A the grey market digital games key reselling service has admitted that indie game sales make up only a small percentage of their business model. This has angered the indie dev community because sites like G2A have been known for facilitating the sale of fraudulent keys obtained via methods such as credit card fraud. So this has inspired some indies to petition the company to stop selling indie games entirely. Pixel Sift is produced by Scott Quigg, Sarah Ireland, Fiona Bartholomaeus & Mitch Loh.

Out of the gate, indie devs are faced with a bunch of challenges from coming up with the concept of their game to...well frankly everything else. Of course, it’s hard to be on top of everything, but there are just some areas devs really can’t afford to skip. Specifically, that’s legal matters.  It might not seem like it matters much, but there is nothing worse than stepping into a legal mess that could have been avoided. Thankfully, Zachary Rich of Press Start Legal is here to talk with us about when is the right time to consider legal assistance, in what scenarios you would need help and how you can take action now so you don’t get caught off guard later when you least expect it.

If there’s one thing that indie devs should know they need, it’s having a thriving community. But building a community and supportive fan base is no simple task and not knowing what steps to take can easily make the challenge of building one overwhelming.

While it’s always a challenge to figure out ways to have your Kickstarter Campaign stand out,  Neal Laurenza of Skymap Games shares how their campaign was able to deliver a greasy punch through the clutter and reach their funding goal.

Real shame since even a retweet from Nintendo probably would have given us a big boost in visibility. I get that it was just a port, but after spending months getting stonewalled by Nintendo when we were trying to get permission to release on Switch, going "fine, we'll play by your rules" and getting a publisher so we could get approved, and still getting ignored by Nintendo when the game was done and set to release is highly frustrating." "It's a good game and I daresay a good percent of those million+ people who bought Octopath Traveler would like our game if they knew it existed. We couldn't even get somebody to fix our store page before launch (which never indicated that the game had a preorder/early purchase sale and until just recently, didn't even have our trailer on it) and the page went up about a month before launch so there was plenty of time."Blade Strangers for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Game DetailsMutant Mudds Collection for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Game Details --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In our seventh episode, the guys are joined by a special guest: Playism Bryan, of social media acclaim! Dan pipes in via Skype, so his voice is a bit garbled in comparison but still quite peppy. Though the time frame is shorter on this episode than previous ones, all three members do their best to talk about Tokyo Game Show and how the experience was for them. Nayan defends figure skating while condemning Japanese idols, Dan talks about the amazing indie games he played in Hall 9, and Bryan mentions how much of a nightmare the main hall can be on public days. Tune in and enjoy this bite-sized episode of J-Play, "A Sea of People."

In this episode of J-Play, Nayan and Dan resurrect the podcast after returning from PAX Prime. We discuss a bit about what Playism is and what the guys do in Playism, as well as a bit about what they've been playing recently. Nayan examines the "not MGS" feel of Metal Gear Solid V, while Dan appreciates the meta of The Magic Circle. Later on, the guys discuss exactly what they saw at PAX Prime and the great things they witnesses in Seattle. We appreciate the weather, indie devs, AAA titles and hard working janitors. All this and more on Episode 6 - I Can Sprint Forever!

J-Play is a look at personal and professional gaming news and insights from the perspective of Japanese game publisher Playism. Join us each week as several members of the team have a roundtable discussion of announcements, developments or even just personal anecdotes regarding gaming lifestyle, both new and old. Warning: will sometimes go off on interesting tangents and hilarious side-stories.

Nayan, Dan and Ben sit back down to discuss...well, the after effects of their last podcast. Dan waxes nostalgic about Tokyo Indie Fest and D4, Nayan absolutely goes fanboy nuts about Bloodstained and Ben sticks true to his word and speaks less than the last cast. Well, somewhat less. Bonus interview with Michiru Yamane, the lead composer for Bloodstained and much more.

In this third episode, Nayan, Dan and Ben look at the amazing fan reactions to the Bloodstained Kickstarter. Ben reminds everyone that it's a good balance of a good campaign and great backers to make a project come to life. A big shoutout goes to all the fans who've created all the art for the Bloodstained Tumblr, though Dan needs to be censored just a bit. Ayami Kojima is officially announced for the Bloodstained project, Dan expresses his admiration for Aleister Crowley, and we have an extra bonus interview with Takumi Naramura of NIGORO.

4Twenty Gaming with Tony Capp. our guest is part of a new organization focused on bringing our "cannabis creators" together. From Indie Developers, Content Creators, Music, Art, etc., all created by people who use Cannabis in some shape or form. THC, the chemical in weed that creates all those psychoactive effects, attaches and absorbs into the naturally existing THC receptors in your brain.
