August 3, 2026 Building an Operations Workspace for Indie Game Studios

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Juan, an indie game developer and founder from Mexico.

Over the years, I realized that building a game is only one part of running a studio. Small teams also spend a lot of time managing finances, legal documents, production workflows, and day-to-day operations across multiple disconnected tools.

That's why I've been building GameDev MX StudioOps—a workspace designed to help indie game studios manage the business side of game development in one place.

Some of the features I'm currently working on include:

  • Structured operational workflows.

  • Financial management with CSV sales report imports.

  • Revenue, ROI, break-even, burn rate, and projection tracking.

  • Legal and operational resources tailored for indie studios.

The platform is currently focused on Mexico, and I'm working on localization to support additional countries.

I'm building this in public because I'd love feedback from other founders and indie developers.

I'm curious: what has been the biggest operational challenge for your studio outside of actually making games?
