📧 business enquiries (e.g. sponsorships, design help, coaching etc.) https://indiegameclinic.com/ . If you want me to critique your unfinished game on a stream, please submit your game for the "Indies Under the Knife" stream via this form: https://forms.gle/YYmsBxc635VEHYUp6 . Indies Under the Knife is a patreon-supported service to help rookie game developers make better games. I do not play published games sent via email unless the stream is sponsored by the game's publisher, or unless it's a game I personally really like the look of. Most emails of this nature will be deleted.

👨🏽‍⚕️ About the Creator:
Joe "Doc" Baxter-Webb is a holder of a PhD in Media & Cultural Studies. He has taught hundreds of undergrad and masters-level students how to make games and other creative media. His teaching style and focus comes from a decade of working in the games industry as a game designer, producer, and studio creative lead. Indie Game Clinic is a channel dedicated to helping people make better games, by focusing on game design and creative direction (instead of the usual focus on technology and marketing). The Indie Game Clinic has a Discord community which is currently only open to developers whose games have featured on Indies Under the Knife, and to patrons who support the channel through Patreon on YouTube Channel Memberships:   / indiegameclinic  . The intention of this limitation is to create a small and skilled community of game designers working at an intermediate or above level, while avoiding the usual issues with open game developer communities - i.e. that they are awash with attention-seeking self-promotional spam and beginner "JFGI" questions.
