Running your #indiegamedev as a business instead of a hobby means spreading your time smartly across maintaining existing games, wrapping up upcoming games and starting new projects and prototypes. This is how my week involved FOUR different game dev projects.

Reddit post at /r/indiedev #indiedev Experienced team looking for an ideas guy Individually we each have over a decade of game dev experience across the indie and AAA space. We’ve recently formed a team to make a game and realized we have no ideas! We’re looking to hire someone with a great game idea. No experience necessary. You don’t need to provide any meaningful contribution to the project other than ideas and opinions. You will get 50% of total net profits, we will split the other remaining 50%. If you or someone you know might be interested in this, please remember that no one needs an ideas guy and this isn’t an actual job. Thanks!
At last, the idea guy's opportunity

Out of curiosity — anybody looking for a full-time/long term Art Director, UX/UI Designer, Motion Graphics Designer/Animator, game designer, "jack of all traits, master of some" who knows Godot and Unity to join their team? Asking for a friend.

My good old trusty game development laptop is getting a much overdue replacement, by "The BEAST". A fully geared out PC ready for more indie game development but also AAA game playing and of course video creating and maybe some let's play's in the future? ;) youtu.be/ex8Fxb2azjY #indiegamedev
Verminsteel isn't in the Summer Sale, because I'm developing it right now, but it's a game where you're a bird with a broadsword who kicks thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun, so if you think that's cool maybe wishlist, RT and tell your friends? store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/...
After many years building teams, shipping products, and solving complex technical challenges across games, XR, and emerging tech — I’m formalising a shift in how I work.
I’m now focusing on fractional CTO and technical advisory roles.
Character maker added to the game so I can design "factions" or "gangs" easier. Probably convert it to a proper user-friendly character-customizer for the game at some point :) #indiegamedev #pixelart
