📖 The Hustle
Document your journey building a complete indie game from scratch. Show your code, art, level design decisions, and marketing struggles. Game dev viewers binge these series for months. Monetize through YouTube ads, selling the finished game, crowdfunding, and affiliate links to game assets and tools.
🚀 First Step
Record a 5-minute channel trailer explaining what game you are building, what engine you are using, and your release timeline.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Pick a manageable scope like a 2D platformer or puzzle game
- Show failures and debugging honestly to build trust
- Build a Discord community where viewers can playtest early builds
