Are you ready for an adventure in the game development world?
As an indie game studio owner, I've had my fair share of battles, but I've learned a thing or two along the way.
In this post, I'll share some personal experiences on how I manage my studio.
These are the key elements to running a successful studio that has allowed me to survive in the wild world of game development.
One key element to running a successful studio is maintaining focus. It's easy to get caught up in all the different ideas and possibilities that come your way, but it's important to stay true to your vision and not lose sight of your goals.
This means being selective about the projects you take on and making sure that each one aligns with your studio's overall mission and objectives.
Another important aspect is understanding that inaction and indecision are big enemies to success.
In this industry, you need to be able to make decisions quickly and confidently and be willing to take risks.
This means being willing to experiment and try new things, even if they may not work out in the end.
Three top tips for running a successful indie game studio include:
1. Create a strong team culture: A positive and supportive team environment can lead to higher employee satisfaction and productivity.
2. Network, network, network: Building relationships with other studios, developers, and industry professionals can open up opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and support.
3. Stay organized: Having a clear plan, schedule, and budget will help you stay on top of all the different tasks and responsibilities that come with running a studio.
In conclusion, running an indie game studio is like playing a game of Dungeons and Dragons, you need to be quick, agile and focused to make sure all the different elements come together to create an epic adventure.
But unlike D&D, there's no dungeon master to blame if things go wrong, just remember to roll a natural 20 on your leadership skills check. 😅👌👊
