Therapist: May I suggest you take a break?
Me: Sure! OK! So. I want to be optimally relaxed. I'd like to maximize how refreshed I feel in the shortest amount of time possible. What's the best tactic? How do I reach peak rest? How do I win resting? Can I min/max my leisure?
Therapist: Oh no.

Where do game developers get their ideas? Like any good answer to a complicated question, it depends!
@victoriatran.bsky.social asks eight indie devs (and herself, twice) about where the idea for their games came from -- featuring Inscryption, 1000xRESIST, Venba, Mars First Logistics, and more!
