Most of us agree, indie game dev is HARD! So how do you keep going when it feels like you're failing at everything?

Between the demands of life, family, work, motivation struggles, mental health, criticism and everything in between, it can be hard to continue pushing forward.

I've been feeling a lot of this lately, but I'm determined to persevere no matter what! In this video I share my experience with feelings of failure and how I'm able to keep making progress and keep working on my game.

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!
