I sat down with Bernie Wick, the solo developer behind "A Story About Birds", a charming indie game about building nests and creating a home for birds. We dove into Bernie's journey from working in game studios to becoming an independent developer, the challenges of game design, and how he balances creativity with business.

We also discussed the inspiration behind A Story About Birds, how he approached game mechanics, art, and storytelling, and what it’s like developing a game on a MacBook in Godot. Plus, Bernie shared insights on the German obsession with simulation games, dealing with creative blocks, and the future of his game development career.
