Ep 451 - Rethinking How Indie Games Get Funded with Julien Ramette

About this episode

The episode discusses rethinking the funding strategies for indie games beyond traditional publisher models.

Building an indie game takes more than funding alone. It also takes support, resources, and a path to market. But too often, those pieces get tied to a single assumption: finding a publisher. So in this episode, we unpack that mindset and explore how developers can think more strategically about funding, partnerships, and building a more sustainable path forward that's grounded in action and not assumption.
