In this episode of The Indie Game Development Podcast, we tackle the pervasive issue of burnout in game development. From indie darlings to AAA giants, burnout knows no bounds.

We dissect three common burnout triggers, drawing from the experiences of renowned YouTube developers like ThinMatrix, Thomas Brush, and Dani. From overworking to the suffocating pressure of expectations and the toxic habit of comparison, we uncover the pitfalls threatening developers' mental health and well being.

Based on personal experience and what we've learned from those that have successfully navigated the game dev space before us, we share practical strategies that we've learned for resilience against burnout.

Learn to pace yourself, manage expectations, and resist the allure of comparison. Successfully avoiding burnout is about finding balance and nurturing your creativity sustainably.
