One of the best things about indie games is that nobody asked for them. No meeting of people in suits decided your game should exist. You just wanted to make something cool that you love. Never forget that's your biggest strength
You're indie. Be weird, be raw, be authentic! ❤️

I'm a Halo modder that Halo Studios hired when planning to bring MCC to PC, and with it, modding support. And last month I re-became a Halo modder after @asha_shar's leadership decided I and others needed to be laid off because our rolls didn't align with the business
Microsoft just announced Xbox Labs, a response to the AI-powered game decompiling we've seen recently. Whether it's skateboarding in CoD or Halo in a browser, Xbox Labs is a new group tasked with exploring this new era of modding. Details 👇theverge.com/news/1010406/xb…

Here are Microsoft's reasons for why they originally cancelled Psychonauts before it was picked up elsewhere. It has now gone on to sell 1.7million copies and has a Metacritic score of 88. I don't really see how this relationship was ever going to last.

Incredible part about gamedev that isn't mentioned enough.
You can make something in half an hour that looks like it should've taken six months to develop.
