---------------------------------------

Indie game developers are some of the most beloved personalities in the gaming industry with how they're able to connect with the viewers through a unique medium, like how Toby Fox is able to offer deep storytelling through Undertale and how Eric Barone is able to give you a great cozy indie experience through Stardew Valley. Unfortunately though, some indie developers have earned a terrible reputation throughout the years for actions or comments made online, like in the case of Phil Fish, or just outright terrible business practices like in the case of Digital Homicide Studios.

yanderedev isnt a dev he's a mail responder bot that was accidentally given life

[Cicosbruh]

You have incredibly understated how big of an impact toby fox made because undertale became so big that he even managed to have his game represented in Nintendos smash bros and to work for gamefreak in creating soundtracks for pokemon games
That is the true indie gamedev dream

[ChristmasInOctober.]

Dani occasionally checks his youtube comments, I asked if he was alive and he commented "yeah"

Edit* Leave me alone!

No man’s sky is the ultimate video game redemption story imo they could have easily abandoned it but instead tried and succeeded in making it what was promised

2:47 The disrespect against the Japanese gaming industry is so goofy, no wonder why this bastard never made another game again.

you look like andrew tate if he had a happy life and good passions

[advicedogsyt]

Fun fact. The reason Judas has a fez hat in the Binding of Isaac is because Phil_Fish voted against Edmund McMillen (the creator of tboi) at the Independent Games Festival. I think you can make the connection.

2 indie game developers that I absolutely love are Dan Salvato who created Doki Doki Literature Club and Ben Esposito who created Tattletail, Neon White, Donut County and What Remains of Edith Flinch. Both developers created games and when they got insanely popular (DDLC and Tattletail) both didn't milk them. Dan made some merch and a new version of DDLC with new side stories and console ports and Ben made free DLC for Tattletail and that was it. I love it when game developers as soon as one of their games go viral, they don't exploit it and instead make the game better for the fans because it shows that these people truly care about the community surrounding their work.

Hakita is someone that as an Indie Dev I absolutely respect.

He's the creator of Ultrakill and his passion for the game runs DEEP but Ultrakill isn't just a high octane, blood-pumping, shooter game it can be many things; It can be serious, it can be dreadful, dramatic, and very silly.

He's put so much thought into the weapons of the game and the synergies you can pull off with the variety of guns although being a smaller arsenal compared to games it's compared with "DOOM Eternal" I'd say Ultrakill handles its weapons great as the crazy shit you can do with a single gun is just mindbogglingly creative.

He adds goofy little easter eggs into his game like paying one of the bosses a coin to let you through, sacrificing a hamster to a "demon" that crashes your game, or just putting a head on a headless skeleton and calling him Hank.

Plus his interactions with his audience or spheres outside the game is pretty neat. Notable moments are when he explained why he made Ultrakills weapons the way they are after a certain Mayonnaise DOOM Enthusiast wrote one of the most horrendous reviews ever conceived, and when Hakita responded to someone posting about "Pirating ULTRAKILL" and Hakita just dropping one of the hardest lines of the century.

If I could’ve said anything to Dani, I would’ve simply said “take your time. Being a 1-man dev team is always difficult.”

[eryalmario]

One of the best devs is concernedape because even without the incentive he still updates the game and did you also know that stardew valley don't have any paid dlc?

That makes him so loved

[Panchyishere]

I think we’re missing a certain developer of an indie horror game about an animatronic bear

[vilroboni]

I'm still genuinely upset about how Starbound was developed and released.

[IvanoPavic-bewx]

My Favorite game Dev ist Hakita (The guy who made Ultrakill) he is very open on what he is working on now and also he listens to comunity feedback

[keri_]

Best game developers imo:
Robtop (The only developer of Geometry dash, does everything by himself)
Re-Logic (Terraria dev team)
Ninja Kiwi (Responsible for all Bloons tower defense games)
Edit: Also add your favorite game developers/teams in the replies too

[Michaelgrapeton_hasnoorgans]

I would put Scott Cawthon since not only did he make the fnaf games he made MatPat go slowly insane insane

[redpixel]

I would say another most loved game developer (more like game development team) is Re-Logic, the creators of Terraria. Terraria is one of my most favorite games of all time, learning about it ever since I was a little kid and playing it on Xbox 360. They listen to the community, adding content the fans ask for and kept polishing and updating the game to make it an amazing survival RPG.

I guess half of comments to dani was based on how he himself represent his game, "oh you don't know what karlson is?" Joke in each video. I prefered his small projects videos for how creative he implement some ideas, and didn't really think there might be so much mess over karlson

[psychic-friend-toy-freddy]

The only person i would add is Scott Cawthon (the guy behind fnaf) considering he has done alot for his community
