Mindful Game Dev: Building Better Games Without Burnout
Sonal Kalra
Game development is creative, technical, and deeply rewarding but it can also be mentally demanding, especially for indie developers, open-source contributors, and small teams working with limited time and resources. This lightning talk introduces practical mindfulness tools that Godot creators can use to manage stress, improve focus, and sustain creativity throughout the development process.
Attendees will learn simple techniques such as mindful pauses, breathwork, and intention-setting that can be used before coding, debugging, playtesting, or collaborating with a team. The session will connect mindfulness to real developer challenges like creative blocks, decision fatigue, perfectionism, and burnout, offering practical ways to stay grounded while building meaningful games.
