David Wesst @david.wes.st · 01/07/2026Are video games business or are they art? I mean, they're both to someone like me who is on a journey to make my own studio, but after a 6-week business development lab, I have some more insight into how it impacts the vision I have. #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment youtu.be/2s4oDvjBpxQyoutu.beAre Video Games a Business or Art?

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 21/05/2026Alright-- trying to document the thing I'm doing and making it more real than having it just float around in my head all the time.

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 20/05/2026After two rough sessions of Titanium Court, I almost decided to shelf it for a while even though I really want to get better, despite my clear lack of skill (pretty sure I’m getting worse, even as ai increase the comfort). HOWEVER, a few searches later I realize I’m not alone in this. 100

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 18/05/2026Titanium Court is a thing. A good thing. A thing that is bizarre and is easy to convince yourself to say “one more round”.

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 18/05/2026Saying this for myself and any other game development folks who need to hear it: It is okay to write code that DOES NOT end up in the final product. It’s easy to say it, but uncomfortable to practice. #gamedevelopment #indiedev #gamedev 062
