Gabe Cornish is a game creator with over 40 published games on itch.io and a decade of experience in the game industry. He's worked on hit mobile titles like Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery at Jam City and more recently at Paradox Interactive. Gabe is passionate about making game development more accessible and sustainable for creators.

In this episode, we explore Gabe's journey in game development and his unique perspective on creating games for fun rather than profit. He shares insights on:

• Make games regularly, even if they're small and imperfect, to maintain enthusiasm and improve skills
• Don't judge your creations too harshly - you never know what will resonate with players
• Consider freeware development as a sustainable way to weather industry uncertainty
• Look for alternative monetization methods like Patreon to support ongoing creative work
