I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Adding a "before:2021" helps quite a bit. Just hope you're not looking for anything contemporary ;)

If you want an excellent video explainer for why we created @nogamesforgenocide.com, People Make Games just made one for you.
After watching it, think about whether you might want to pledge to boycott Xbox and then sign up if you do.

A nice side effect of trying to tidy up my GDrive and move to Proton (plus having more time off than I expected) is that I've discovered lots of unprocessed timelapse footage from our 2017 trip round the world.
Also DaVinci Resolve's built-in stabilisation tools are really good.

Working my way through the Guardians Birth Keepers podcast series, they've really nailed the Serial format.
Just the most horrific story of how dangerous "conspiritual" communities and thinking can be, especially when combined with individuals motivated by profit and status.

Trying to get something interesting out of a glitch/freeze pedal. You have to leave a lot of space for it not to clutter things that I've probably already made too busy.

Labour is turning Britain into an authoritarian state.
That’s bad enough now.
But imagine what a Nigel Farage government will build on all these authoritarian foundations.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
