Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant. All of this can and should change.

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

I'm going to present my current Playdate-project next Monday at @indietreff.bsky.social in Hamburg. It's called 🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️ and it's an action RPG with reaction based fights, a node based overworld, Souls-Like elements and still looooots of missing features. But I'm getting there😅

Map Map - A Game About Maps has a demo out and I can't recommend this game highly enough. Finding creative ways to locate stuff on a map is such a fun and rewarding experience and the entire presentation is incredibly charming. store.steampowered.com/app/3672480/...

From my Nordic/INDIGO talk on picking the right game - a talk that also dives into how much of a liability a lot of publishers have become to devs in general. There are still plenty of "good ones" and "OK ones" out there, but the "publeecher" wave right now is very real.

Rami speaking on a stage. The slide describes the lack of risk-taking by publishers.
