The Indie Diarist is a show on the most lovable, creative and inspiring indie devs from the world of video games. In each episode I, your loyal Indie Diarist, will take you through the stories of the creative minds behind the indie games we love, to celebrate the unsung heroes of the industry in some fun, one-on-one interviews.

The Indie Diarist is my personal tribute to the indie game development scene. For the longest time I’ve wanted to connect with game developers to better understand their vision, learn about their work and chat with them about what makes making games so special; I know, after all, that game developers are gamers themselves first and foremost. And they almost always have a dream to drive them forward.

Independent developers hold a very special place in my heart. A lot deserve way more recognition than they’re currently getting — a space where their stories can be heard.

There is no space for hatred, negativity or plain bad human beings on The Indie Diarist; there’s a reason why the very first two episodes are with an incredibly inspiring female game designer, Nina Freeman, and with stay-at-home dad and VR developer Thomas Kildren, respectively. I want The Indie Diarist to be a safe space and platform for everyone involved, and I will always treat it with the utmost transparency.

I will always be looking for devs from underrepresented communities, who are discriminated against or simply have trouble cutting through the noise because of their identity. I will always be promoting diversity, positivity and generally being “a decent human being” on the show.

This is the whole purpose behind The Indie Diarist.

Host Anthony L. Wolf spent a lot of time trying to come up with a good name for the show, and in the end, this one stuck the most. The Indie Diarist is him, the host, whose only purpose is to sit there in the background while his amazing guests tell their stories.

His Indie Diaries are each episode of the podcast: lovely chronicles and stories from the developers, amplified for everyone to learn about, to get to know the people behind the pixels.

The focus of the show is on the people and their stories, rather than the host himself. He is merely the person offering the platform to bring these stories to life.

The host of The Indie Diarist podcast is senior content manager, writer & narrative designer Anthony L. Wolf – the owner of this very website! Learn more about him here.

In this show, you’ll hear from game writers, designers, artists and more, from all parts of the world, to learn about their personal journeys and get inspired by their unique stories.

If you know (or are) an indie developer with a great story to tell and an amazing project in development, you’ll probably be a perfect fit for the show.
