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
