The biggest challenges for indie developers, with Jason Della Rocca
About this episode
As part of our series of daily podcasts from Devcom and Gamescom 2024, GamesIndustry.biz editor-in-chief James Batchelor is joined by Execution Labs co-founder and former IGDA Montreal executive director Jason Della Rocca.
Drawing on Della Rocca's years of experiences working with indie developers, we discuss the biggest challenges these studios face in today's market, from the impact of layoffs and studio closures to the shrinking indie publisher scene.
We also talk about what helps indies stand out in the market, why it's important to research your genre before committing to it, and what opportunities there may be for indies in the near future.
