Where many indie games include a group of programmers, artists, and writers, Dim Bulb Games relied on lead developer Johnnemann Nordhagen and a small army of writers to build the game’s content. </p>
<p>Nordhagen himself has been <a href="https://medium.com/@johnnemann/where-the-water-tastes-like-wine-postmortem-211a1f9d791a">expressly transparent</a> about the process of making and selling <em>Where the Water Tastes Like Wine</em>, but we’re still excited to be chatting with him today at 3PM EDT over on the Gamsutra Twitch channel. If you’ve got questions about surviving as an indie, or making games about American folklore, you should swing by and ask them! </p>
<p>And while you’re at it, be sure to <a href="http://twitch.tv/Gamasutra">follow the Gamasutra Twitch channel</a> for more developer interviews, editor roundtables, and gameplay commentary. </p>
