My Full-Time Indie Dev Plan Failed After 2 Months

60 days ago, I started a journey that completely changed how I look at indie game development. Spoiler alert: my original plan failed, but what I learned along the way was worth it. In this devlog, I’m sharing the raw reality of been a youtuber, managing our current Steam title Deepstone Rift during the Summer Sale, and realizing just how much work goes into being a solo developer.
