3:00PM | Game Dev and Self‑Doubt: Learning to Challenge Negative Thoughts | Room B
In this talk, I will share my personal game dev journey. The wins, and the failures, and the ongoing barrage of self-doubt and imposter syndrome. I’ll share how I’ve dealt with negative feedback, rejection, and irrational thoughts. I may not have all the answers, but I do have real experiences, both good and bad, and in sharing them I hope other devs and artists can feel less alone and reestablish their joy and confidence in what made them start creating in the first place.
