About

Hi. I'm Joe Baxter-Webb! Indie Game Clinic is my variety channel about indie games and how they're made. I play the games you're working on and give feedback on design, creative direction and game UX. I also stream my own dev projects, and make video essays about topics which interest me. I used to work in mobile games and teach university game design. I also have a PhD in Cultural Studies and my research focused on games, learning, and technology. The channel's Patreon supporters have a private Discord; a closed community for folks who are serious about game design, and who see indie dev as a craft and not a get rich quick scheme. For any inquiries about business stuff - and to see my resume - please check out indiegameclinic.com. Let's Make Better Games.
