So you've released that Indie-Game you've been working on for five years and now you're wondering... what's next? You've refined your pipeline, honed your skills, and spent years building up a great team and studio to work at, but unless you find yourself in a runaway hit situation, it's time to get serious. You're not AAA, but you're no longer a spare-time Indie... you're Post Indie. In this deep dive into a small studios' ten year history, we examine the blurry line between "hobby studio" and "career", between niche products and AAA brands, and between staying scrappy and being professional, all while building a reputation, surviving a bleak landscape, and, above all, being a steward for the livelihoods your team has entrusted to your leadership.
Attendees can expect a survey of insights, pitfalls, and regrets that they can compare to their own studios, as well as a few inspirational ideas of how they might better plan for long term stability for their studio.
This talk is for independent creators and leaders, with a focus toward those who wants to take their art from hobbyist-minded to career-minded, as well as anyone with the desire to know more about the difficulties of creating the stable workplace we all strive to achieve
