Daniel Tait is a prolific indie game developer who has created several popular puzzle games, including Mathler, CrossWordle, and Somplete. Despite not considering himself a professional programmer, Daniel has a knack for quickly building and launching games that capture players' attention.
In this episode, we explore Daniel's journey from tinkering with games as a kid to becoming a successful indie developer.
He shares insights on:
- How he created Mathler, his breakout hit inspired by Wordle, using an open-source clone and basic math equations
- His approach to rapidly prototyping and launching games, often spending just a weekend to get an MVP out
- Leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to overcome technical challenges and generate unique puzzles
- The pros and cons of selling some of his most popular games
- His latest project, WordNerd.co, which aims to be a hub for word game enthusiasts
You'll learn:
- Why Daniel prefers to launch games quickly and imperfectly rather than polishing them extensively
- How he uses domain name availability to influence game ideas (23 Words came from 23words.com being available!)
- His simple but effective launch strategy using Hacker News and Reddit
- The importance of building games you enjoy playing yourself
