I CAN'T KEEP QUIET ANY LONGER!
I've been working on a #indiegame called 「POST SPACE」that is still pretty early in development. There's still a lot that I *can't* share yet, but if you're familiar with my previous work, go get yourself added to the mailing list early 👀 tinyurl.com/post-space-dev

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

there's a short window of time to do it but the reason people use new year changeover to rethink goals and who they're trying to be is you can actually respec your character stats without penalty if you do it soon, button is in the bottom right of the level up screen the UI doesn't highlight it well

Catching up with game announcements. It's always strange (and wonderful) to see elements of games your friends have been hinting about for years suddenly out there in the world. I love that click when a long-ago obscure comment clicks and you're like "Ohhhh that's what that meant!"

I can only beat this drum so many times:
If you're an indie game dev and you want to make a profit, marketing and analysis should be an integral part of your process as early as possible. If you're working in a team, you should be as serious about finding a marketer as you are about a programmer.
