A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

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.

The new key artwork for Cross Blitz, a deckbuilding video game developed by Tako Boy Studios.

The new key artwork for Cross Blitz, a deckbuilding video game developed by Tako Boy Studios.

Cross Blitz 1.0 is finally out!

We've been working on this for over 6 years. An absolutely exhaustive undertaking. I learned a lot during its development, and I'm a much stronger artist and writer because of it.

I hope its characters and world resonate with people, if even just a little.

Hey hey! I'm Stefan and I work as a programmer and game designer as part of Robotality. We're a small indie studio and have made games like Wargroove 2, Pathway and Halfway. Currently I'm busy working as a gameplay programmer with Chucklefish on Witchbrook.
