Benni Hill - Creative Director at Bonsai Games on bootstrapping, building teams and creative direction

Benni Hill is the Creative Director at Bonsai Collective developing Luna Abyss.

Benni and I had similar trajectories into the games industry, founding our first studio together over 12 years ago (as of recording in 2024) so this discussion focuses on early trials and tribulations of making a game over 4 years without income, how Benni thinks about Creative Direction, and building a new team in Bonsai Collective.
