Are the days of massive, triple-A studios dominating the gaming landscape numbered? A new generation of agile, independent developers is rising, and they're armed with a powerful weapon: Artificial Intelligence.
In this episode, we sit down with indie studio CEO and industry veteran Rafael to explore if we're on the verge of an indie takeover. Rafael reveals the lean strategies that allow small teams to outmanoeuvre giants, from rapid prototyping and market analysis to leveraging direct, unfiltered user feedback.
We dive deep into the ultimate equalizer AI. Discover how generative AI is closing the massive resource gap, allowing small teams to tackle ambitious projects once reserved for thousand-person studios. We also explore how indies are pioneering new frontiers in VR and creating "AI-native" games that are impossible to build with traditional methods.
Is the line between a blockbuster and an indie hit about to be erased forever? Tune in to hear the case for the indie revolution.
