In this 2018 GDC session, Weather Factory's Alexis Kennedy discusses the lessons learned while building Failbetter Games, and how those lessons were taken into account when founding a second studio.

Through focusing on war stories and practical advice, Kennedy explains the process of founding Failbetter Games and how moved on to leave a stable and respected studio behind to start a new venture.

He also provides great advice on how to grow and thrive as an indie studio with an eye on the long term.
