Presentation

"The Indie Way: Beers with Friends"

Join Creative Director & co-founder Kris Piotrowski, alongside President & co-founder Nathan Vella as they reveal indie wisdom via the tumultuous history of CAPY (Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Clash of Heroes, Critter Crunch); A roller-coaster journey through indie game development which has proven, more than anything, the importance of being good friends with a supportive community of fellow game-makers, and how almost every important decision, course correction and even some projects and collaborations, came from simply getting hammered with buds.
