He didn't know how to make games, but by improvising every aspect of game development, he made and published an ambitious 3D game. He didn't know programming, he didn't know any game engine and he didn't know how to make art for games. But he wanted to make the game of his dreams, an FPS game. Three years later, he finished and shipped the game Northern Journey, a 3D game with interconnected levels, whimsical characters, and hypnotizing music, made with Unreal Engine 4 (Blueprints) and Blender. Currently a success on Steam. In this podcast, I interviewed Øystein from Slid Studios in Norway, a Solo Indie Game Developer, where he talks about his unique journey while developing the Northern Journey from scratch, with no planning and no schedules. Did you know that he learned and made everything from scratch, including every asset, texture, sound, and more? Not only that, before making the game he spent 10 years making an indie movie. This interview is packed with valuable insights for those that want to go big without giving up and without burning out when making indie games.
