With the Xbox layoffs marking the latest decimation of AAA games, it seems like there's no better time to be hustling as an indie dev. Plus, we get to play games that aren't just the same recycled ideas over and over 👌 #indiegames #indiegamedev

Whenever I look at an indie game and am ideating a campaign, I start by asking myself one question: why will someone remember this game or the person who made it tomorrow? This is an area I see indie devs struggling with when they do their own PR and marketing 👇 #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

After working in games journalism, editorial roles, and indie game PR, I started noticing a pattern: Most indie games don’t struggle because they lack quality; they struggle because traditional PR visibility hasn’t kept up with how games are actually discovered today #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames
