He shares insights into developing a 2D Metroidvania with his own custom game engine, the challenges of solo development, and how partnering with industry veteran Dan Edelman helped boost visibility. Billy reflects on his time at DePaul and working at Phosphor, NetherRealm, and Level Ex, discussing the technical skills that shaped his approach. He also shares his thoughts on the industry—favoring smaller, diverse games over live-service titles—and his stance against AI-generated assets.
