In this talk, we'll share Stuart's journey through the collapse of their previous indie studio and the rebuilding process of the new studio. He will discuss the events leading up to the collapse, including challenges faced, how the pandemic exacerbated these issues, and the aftermath of the collapse, including the emotional fallout and the importance of self-care.

Stuart will also discuss setting new goals, overcoming obstacles, and building a new team as they worked to rebuild and launch a new studio. The mistakes made during the collapse of the first studio will be analysed, and the process of developing and launching a new game will also be covered. Stuart will conclude with final thoughts on resilience, learning from mistakes, and maintaining motivation in the face of these challenges.
