it's been a really amazing experience getting to make games that people actually want to play, and it's even cooler having a (afaik good) reputation. making games has been a really great way of flexing my writing skills, but at the start i was soooo nervous about publishing anything with my own writing in it, but everybody's been super supportive. going forward i hope i can make games with more complex mechanics, maybe i'll even take another step and learn real coding and make something in godot. who knows
but i never could've gotten this far without my loving wife tessa supporting us financially with her job, and i never could've gotten anywhere at all without my amazing gf ashley working with me every step of the way on these games and doing all the incredible art. thank you both so much for your love and support ❤️
