Indies have an advantage when it comes to designing games. Without the need for exhaustive design documents and project tracking, we can focus instead on prototyping and iteration. Ian will talk about his move from AAA to indie, his methods for designing the Soulcaster and Escape Goat (neither of which had proper design docs), and the pros and cons of this approach.
