Welcome to another episode of Behind the Games, where we dive deep into the world of game development, one story at a time.
In this episode, host A.J. Scarlato sits down with Mitchel Nursey, the indie developer behind Tread, a fast-paced multiplayer arcade-style tank shooter. Mitchel opens up about the highs and lows of his development journey, including how he got started, what keeps him going, and where the road is taking him next.
We talk:
- The origin story of Tread and its core design principles
- What it’s really like building an indie game from scratch
- How to break into the game industry (and what to avoid)
- The balance of coding, creative vision, and indie grit
- Advice for students, aspiring developers, and future studio founders
Whether you’re in a AAA studio looking to launch your own project, a student mapping your path, or a game enthusiast curious about what happens behind the screen—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
