Solo-Dev is a interview podcast that dives into the world of solo-developer video game design. Each episode, we discuss programs and tools needed, explore techniques for effective design and the creative decisions one makes when building a game from the ground up. Through these interviews with solo creators across the industry, we break down how to figure out a strategy for building up your game with discussions around different game engines, art styles, publishing platforms, and more.

For the audio, I picked a couple of sounds that I think kick-starts you into a video-gamey atmosphere. I lowered the volume on the background music, all of which was put together in Canva.
