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.

This reflective acrylic sheet shows how 1980s illustrators were able to trace real-life objects on the computer. Once it was aligned, it reflected whatever was in front of it over the monitor's display, allowing artists to trace it in a tool like MacPaint or MS Paint. Simple, low tech and effective.

Public service announcement for #artists and #designers, aka everyone. Seriously, everytime I see an equilateral triangle somewhere being used irl or in a digtal space to indicate direction, I scream internally (and sometimes externally).

I know I repeat myself, but fuck RedBubble!

On top of their recent account fee, in mid-2025 they introduced another fee on top, essentially taking now ~80% of my profits. That should be illegal but here we are 🤪

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

I really don't know what to do.

I desperately need an income. I desperately needed one a year ago, but tech jobs don't hire immediately.

I can't cancel Ludum Dare. The generosity of the community is the only thing keeping a roof over my head right now, but I also can't afford to run it.

Trapped.

I feel like a failure.

I dared to try making Ludum Dare sustainable, held on too long & the job market went to shit.

Spent the last 18 months neglecting Ludum Dare as I attempted to find work. I attempted to find employment I could do & keep LD going, but even pivoting to "anything" didn't help.
