So, You Wanna Do a Side Project?

by Josh Anthony | at Minnebar 19 | 9:35 – 10:15 in Minnetonka | View Schedule

Interested in working on a side project? Concerned that you're too busy to do side projects? Curious about how someone maintains a life while doing side projects?

I have 7 years of experience working on various side projects while holding down a day job, while still spending quality time on family, friends, and fun. I'll share my experiences in doing those things, examine how I start, maintain, and finish side projects, and give tips on how to do this with minimal time and money to spare.

You'll see how I do side projects, and gain inspiration to start and maintain your own!

I'm co-owner at Loonicy Entertainment, a video game developer in the Twin Cities, where I do many things, from programming to game design to project management. Our studio is currently working on a roguelite strategy platformer called Dice Tower. You can found out more at our website, loonicy.com.

Previously, I worked at Best Buy as a senior frontend engineer and engineering manager, and before then have held various web development roles in Minnesota.

I live in the south Metro with my family. When I'm not working on games or side projects, I enjoy playing video games, writing music, and authoring blog posts.
