Do indie game developers actually need publishers?
After 20 years in the industry as a developer, studio founder, and publisher, Andrei Podoprigora breaks down the honest truth behind indie publishing, what makes a game fundable, and why RIGHT NOW is a once-in-a-generation window for small studios.
We dig into systems-driven game design, why your Steam page is killing your wishlists, the one metric that matters more than wishlists, and the hard lessons from pitching 25+ VCs and hearing nothing but “no.”
Whether you’re a solo dev trying to get your first game funded or a studio deciding whether to self-publish, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won’t find anywhere else.
