Episode notes

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show podcast! On this special episode recorded in San Francisco, California during the Game Developer's Conference for 2023, Ben Hanson is joined by Kelsey Lewin, Imran Khan, and The Indie Informer's Jill Grodt. We talk about what GDC is like this year, trends amongst game developers, the best indies of the show, and more. Then we talk about playing the new open-world game Tchia, the horror fishing game Dredge, and Kelsey unpacks everything horrifying about the Wii U and 3DS eShops closing down. There aren't any community questions this week, but we'll be back next week with a regular episode!
