How Indie Game Development Adds to the Stresses of Life— But Also Provides an Escape

One night in November of 2016, I found myself on a dirt pathway, carefully scooping handfuls of sand, pressing them down into the ground, smoothing and sculpting the terrain. I grabbed rocks, smacked them down into the dirt, then smoothed the area again with more sand. I was building the world of a new video game with my bare hands—one grain of sand at a time. Of course, this was a dream, but when I uncomfortably awoke and comprehended it wasn’t real, I also realized this dream perfectly summarized the journey of my last seven years creating—and marketing—an indie game.
