In this video we discuss the importance of maintaining one's sanity, happiness, motivation, creativity, and inspiration while developing games.

We dive into the stress and pressure that can come with game development and how it can impact mental health and overall enjoyment. As well as the passion that drives indie game developers and how it fuels creativity and care in game development.

If you're new to our channel, we're Brandon & Nikki from Sasquatch B Studios. We sold our house to start our game studio, and work full time on building our business and making our games, Veil of Maia & Samurado.

Subscribe for NEW game dev videos every Monday & Thursday!
