Living The Dream and Enduring The Nightmare - It’s tough being indie

A short time ago I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of the keynote speakers at the New Zealand Game Developer Conference. My talk was about the highs and lows of indie development, specifically talking about my experiences with Eufloria and Cletus Clay. This is a subject I’ll write more about in due course. 

The conference was excellent and I understand it will pave the way for more such events in the area. The industry still seems very youthful but it’s definitely an up and coming industry for Kiwis.

Note that 1) I refuse to watch the video and 2) I ran out of time slightly and it ended up on a more negative note than planned!

If anyone is interested, the slides can be found here.
