TikTok Game Dev: The Eldritch Horror - How to Create Powerful Content

Understanding TikTok feels like trying to unpick the workings of a twisted all knowing ancient creature. I spent the last 2 years creating game dev content on TikTok and in 2022 I took my eldritch magic to another level by posting daily for 7 months (and living to tell the tale.) This talk is about unpicking the learnings directly from someone who has been deep in the dark depths of Game Dev TikTok content creation. We'll break down strategy and tactics, how best to effectively use the platform, and all sorts of unusual magic I have learned from hands on content creation.
