See all- Seattle Indies Speaker Series: Jakub Kasztalski, Unbound CreationsPublicDisplay.Art, Seattle, WA
Join us for the next edition of the Seattle Indies Speaker Series. This time we are featuring Jakub Kasztalski, founder of Unbound Creations and creator of Headliner, Headliner: NoviNews, Rain on Your Parade, Just Crow Things, and more! In this talk Jakub will be giving a retrospective on his recent hit releases Rain on Your Parade and Just Crow Things.
About this talk
"There are a lot of lessons one learns after running an indie studio for a decade and releasing 7 commercial titles. A lot of lessons which have been covered by much wiser men in much better talks before. And yet, as an avid consumer of these resources, I always felt they don’t neatly encapsulate my own way of doing things; that my own process doesn’t neatly fall into what other developers might consider “best practices.”In this talk, I will reflect on the hybrid solo/team-based process at Unbound Creations, how the gaming landscape has changed (and keeps changing) with every new release, and a slew of other peculiar revelations. You will learn why I don’t use grayboxing, why I think sloppy design can be good, and how I use my own limitations as a pillar for sustainable success."

Did you know that 20% of game players identify as having some form of disability? Accessibility isn't just a feature – it's fundamental to creating truly impactful games. We kick off a series of events for Accessibility Awareness Month as we sit down with Mark Barlet, COO of Access Forge, to explore why accessibility matters in the indie space. Discover how inclusive design can enrich the player experience, broaden your audience, and contribute to a more welcoming and diverse gaming community.
Join us on Twitch, YouTube, and LinkedIn for this insightful conversation as we delve into the crucial role of accessibility in indie game design.
There will be time for live Q&A during this discussion so come prepared with your questions.
