GDEX 2025 Session: Learning About Your Players: Actually Useful Analytics for Indies | As development resources get harder to find, every developer needs to ensure they are using what they do have most effectively. Developers across genres and scales of development have spent years refining and polishing the data they look at to inform these decisions.
