You Are Not Alone is a session of microtalks where speakers share their experiences and perspectives on game development that challenge the dominant narrative. These talks are for those who may feel like outsiders—whether you're a solo dev, struggling with past mistakes, or questioning your place in the industry. Join us to learn from and be inspired by developers redefining indie success on their own terms.
Takeaway
Indie game development can often feel lonely and isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. These microtalks will highlight shared experiences and challenges, showing that others have walked similar paths. Through their stories, you'll find connection, encouragement, and a reminder that you are not alone.
Intended Audience
Indie game developers who have ever felt different or alone.
