Found my first gamedev Reddit post from 4 years ago. That prototype became 'Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot' and has now sold 300,000+ copies, completely changing my life.
After years of work, I finally released my first game! 🎉
I'm making a "thinking man's" top-down shooter. Thoughts?
FIrst Impressions???
From being a math teacher to becoming an indie game developer... my first game is finally out!
Sometimes I can’t believe it, but the game I made is out on steam.
Released my very first Steam page today! As an almost 30 y/o pregnant lady, I introduce you to That Cozy Cat Game!
Some players said this boss looked too cute to fight, so I used some ancient knowledge to fix it
The first real review of my demo
Bring back the gaming
