About this episode

Nigel and Tazziii interview Nareice Wint about her journey from AAA to indie game development and the challenges faced along the way.

This week, Nigel and Tazziii sit down with Nareice Wint, a producer and game developer at Miami Avalon, to discuss her journey into games and finding her way from AAA to indie development. We look at the differences and realities of two very different landscapes, from the structure and scale of AAA studios to the personal responsibility and creative freedom of building something independently. Nareice also gives us a look at the challenges of that personal journey, as we get real about navigating games while facing hurdles like the Job Centre and the negative perception of video games in society. With a decade of experience behind her, and off the back of a successful game release with Ascend, Nareice shares how her path has led her to redefine what success now means.
