You're Not a Solo Dev and You Can't Make a Game on Your Own

Hey Everybody,

Today I am making a little bit of a different video than I normally do. Throughout my involvement with game development I have gotten to know the indie dev community pretty well. Almost every developer I’ve met that’s working on an indie game has been a solo developer. But there seems to be a common sentiment from a vocal minority that’s within this community. What's this idea you’re probably wondering, well it’s the belief that “You must make every aspect of your game by yourself”. And if you don’t make everything on your own, your game is somehow not worthy.

So today I’m going to be discussing this topic and revealing indie development’s biggest lie.
