Who am I?
My name is Joe Kaul and I have been building and operating my own indie game studio from scratch since the start of 2025. This community exists as a way to hold myself and others accountable to the dream of building an Indie Game studio from nothing.
When I first started, I had grand dreams of completely reshaping what people thought of when they heard the phrase “educational video game.” Leveraging what I learned about adult learning and development while completing my Psychology degree, I was confident I could revolutionize the industry with games that allow you to learn through discovery rather than lectures. I had some ideas that I still believe are really good and could achieve that goal, but I’ve faced so many unforeseen challenges as I’ve been learning game development that have shown me just how difficult those games really are to make.
I haven’t given up on those ideas. But I am shifting my focus toward building the systems that make successful game development consistently achievable. Building and maintaining this community will force me to deeply consider everything that goes into those systems, and give me a place to share lessons learned from all of the mistakes I’ve made and successes I’ve had.

Making games alone sucks. Meet other game makers, connect, build a studio, and actually release games.
