Every GDC developers get together to learn from peers who have found success on the well known gaming platforms. But what can be learned from developers that took alternate routes?

In this GDC 2018 set of microtalks, developers Kaho Abe, Robin Baumgarten, Nathalie Lawhead, Tj Hughes, Heather Flowers and Tammy Duplantis share their experiences taking strange and untrodden paths in the world of indie games.

The developers discuss their work on specialized custom hardware, games that are focused on expression of the creator, and experimental games to share their experiences.

It's an insightful talk that's definitely worth watching, so developers shouldn't miss the opportunity to do so now that it's freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!
