The Indie Diarist

Welcome back for the first Indie Diary post Episode 100, my faves! In this episode I spent some time with Kit, the founder of Artificium Games and developer behind Ooops, You're The Hero – which sounds exactly as interesting as it is. From games changing lives to rope swinging pains, this episode is a really cool one! Enjoy! 🎒💛

We've had more than 100 episodes together. Here's to 1,000 more! 🎒💛
What's next for the show? Many great things, I hope, but most importantly... meaning!
See you in the next Indie Diary, my friends. 🎒💛

It's here! 100 episodes, over 100 developer interviews, and 4 years of The Indie Diarist join forces for a major milestone of the show. How do I even begin to describe the amount of knowledge, stories, passion, and achievements I've heard about in 4 years, and how do I condense them into one single episode? Believe it or not, I tried.
In this Indie Diary #100, you finally get to hear from Ant, The Diarist himself, on what almost half a decade of the show means to him (me!), the beauty of game development, and why people keep wanting to create things against all odds.
Enjoy! 🎒💛

Episode 100 is just around the corner! In this one, I spent some time with Flint Burchett, a lovely developer working on the ambitious and intriguing top-down shooter Suqare: Hired Gun. Flint's persistence and sense of wonder are constant drivers for his work, and it was amazing to connect with such a passionate dev.
Truly couldn't wish for a better guest for episode 99. 🎒💛
Enjoy!

Get ready for a bit of an unconventional episode, friends! In this one, I spent some time with Eegar, a talented game development student who's working on his commercial game while sharing his game dev journey online. Eegar is seeing some success on socials with his content, and I just had to snatch him for a quick hour together to learn more about what he does, and discuss some marketing best practices for you all.
Interestingly, this episode brought back my much feared audio issues... but in an entirely unique way that I think led me to create quite an interesting episode after all. Hope you enjoy! 🎒💛
