Was just enough of a deep dive to shed some light on what it is and why it's so complex.
This week, our talented writer jisaacgadient.bsky.social shared their #MDEV2025 experience. Their article covers everything from standout talks and #indiegames to networking and the growing Midwest #gamedev scene! 😎✨

Just finished up at #Mdev #Mdev2025. The morning talks i attended didn't really land with me but really enjoyed the afternoon talks on Game Discovery Behavior, Skijoring, and pushing Indie studio limits. Also got this sweet pic of me with the Power Glove.
🎮 Day One at #MDEV2025 was a blast!
TY to everyone who played Vice: Magic City Mayhem. We loved meeting so many passionate devs, players, and fellow creators!
