Today we’re talking with Jon Selin of Low Drag Labs. Jon shares his journey of moving away from mobile games back to his first love of mmo-like multiplayer experiences, and taking the leap into a fully bootstrapped dev team. For awhile, Low Drag was a solo effort, now its a duo, and Jon talks about that journey and how it compares to the idyllicized zeitgeist version of solo development.
I found Jon’s reflections on the industry, the journey, and startup life really great to dig into. And behind the scenes, I’m also a huge fan of what they’re working on so it was great to hear how Jon got there. It’s a great conversation, let’s jump in.
