Making Video Games can be difficult no matter how experienced you are. A real conversation indie game development, setting expectations for those starting game development and a reminder to those already experienced game devs.

In this video I discuss the reality of indie game development, maintaining a realistic mindset, making your dream game, viral indie games, skills that game dev demands, 'Tutorial Hell', willpower and an important balanced outlook on getting started.

It's important to reiterate that game development courses can be an invaluable starting place, but be sure to properly scope out each to ensure they're providing meaningful teachings.

Make sure to share your own realities or realisations about indie game development in the comments!
