Falling in Love With Lovish (and Other Indie Dev Tales) | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 507

Please welcome indie developer Matt Kap to Sacred+. I (Colin) invited Matt onto the show because I recently fell in love with his wonderful game Lovish, and I wanted to gush about it with him. But Matt's Canadian indie outfit LABS Works has done more than just Lovish, with Castle in the Darkness and Astalon: Tears of the Earth also in their catalog. Together, we discuss a lot of interesting topics, especially if you -- like us -- are either in indie dev, or interested in the space. What's it like working with a publisher, and where and how do you find one? Is self-publishing better than working with a partner? How does one market their game in such a saturated field? Are younger players completely uninterested in retro-style wares? All of that, plus our love of games like Kid Icarus, Actraiser, Metroid, Adventures of Lolo, Faxanadu, and more, all on the other side of the play button.
