Most indie devs don’t have a feedback problem. They have a visibility problem. Players don’t see what’s happening behind the scenes—so it feels like nothing is happening at all. I wrote about this 👇 open.substack.com/pub/fuzzyind... #IndieDev #GameDev #unity3D

I've talked to a lot of students who want to get into game dev—and most of them are unsure what they should actually be doing. So I wrote about it. Not just education—but what actually matters when trying to break in. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/fuzzyind... #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Most indie devs don’t have a marketing strategy. They have a launch plan—and hope. After GDC, one thing was clear: Discovery starts before release. Wrote about wishlists, funnels, and what actually works 👇 open.substack.com/pub/fuzzyind... #IndieDev #GameDev #Unity #GameDevelopment

Just published my reflections from #GDC2026. Layoffs, new funding models, and the rise of indie studios show how the industry is shifting — but developers are adapting. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/fuzzyind... #GameDev #IndieDev #GameDevelopment #GDC
GDC 2026: How Developers Are Adapting to a Changing Industry
Layoffs may dominate the headlines, but at GDC the real conversation was about solutions.

Community-funded. Creator-owned. No crunch. A mutual aid platform for indie developers and the people who believe in them.

Ever wonder how a “simple” chest works in a game? Behind the scenes it’s player alerts, animation, hooks, enemy/item mapping — all tied together. www.youtube.com/shorts/jFNzY... #GameDevelopment #Unity #IndieGame #devlog #indieDev

So much of game dev is invisible. The smoother a feature looks, the more work probably went into it. I Wrote a piece about the hidden effort behind smooth scene transitions and why “simple” is never simple in game dev. #indiedev #unitygamedev #gamedev #devlog
The Illusion of Simplicity in Game Development
Behind the scenes of building smooth, additive scene transitions that players never think about.

Many new developers always seem to be worried about imposter syndrome. And I believe if many of them talked to each other more, regardless of experience, will realize that we're more alike then you think... That were all concerned about quality and getting a good product out the door.
