Hi there! My name is Thomas Brush, and I'm a game developer. I'm a huge fan of pushing past insecurity to not only become something great, but build something great. On my channel I discuss the business of making indie games, and also chat with full time indies on the Full Time Game Dev podcast. If you're interested in learning more about game development, feel free to check out my massive game dev program, FullTimeGameDev.com!
