The Dangers of Development Without Direction
The creative freedom that comes with making a game can be both a blessing and a curse. When anything is possible, everything is on the table. In this presentation, we will explore the dangers of creating a game without having a clear goal.

Melty Clown Studio is an indie game studio best known for creating Bonnie's Bakery, a cute horror game where you play as a baker in a town full of animals. The team came together after making Bonnie's Bakery for the 2022 GDEX Game Jam and made their first official Steam release in 2023. They have a small, dedicated fanbase that they've garnered over the years on their YouTube channel.
