In this episode of Branching Factor, Tommy and Quang sit down with Mike and Gavin from @BitmapBureau to talk about their journey as indie game developers. In particular, we talk about their work developing Xeno Crisis: a game released in 2019 that has since shipped on over a dozen platforms. From the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) to the Nintendo Switch, and almost every platform in between.
