This channel documents my full time indie dev journey, all the way from its beginning in 2018. I make a mixture of educational and entertaining game dev content.
Commercial indie games I released so far since starting this YT channel:
- ISLANDERS (as part of Grizzly Games)
- Will You Snail? (Solo project)
- Thronefall (Grizzly Games)
I'd be honored if you decide to stick around to see where the journey goes.

Our game Thronefall gets a DLC.
This is exciting to see. If you've missed it: We sold the IP to Mythwright because we were kinda "done" developing it and wanted to move on to new game projects (so we're not financially affiliated with Thronefall anymore). Now they're doing some actually cool looking shiit with it. Really feels like they "get it". Will do a reaction video on the channel when its out for sure. Cool, cool, cool, this is the dream, like what the hell.

Hey game devs, do you use AI for coding support?

If a friend told you they just found the best co-op gladiator game, what would you assume about or expect from that game?

What do you want from the next "first" devlog?
We've been working on the new commercial game for 6 moths and are getting ready to start talking about it. That means first devlog is coming soonishish. I'm wondering how you'd like the story to be told this time. Do you want me to just SHOW it immediately and then get into how we mad it? Or do you want to feel like you're building up from an empty Unity project with me? In general if you have any "advice" or things you'd like to see in the next devlog series, feel free to drop a comment below. Thank you, excited for this one!! :)

Original fun video was over 6 years ago. Now the sequel is out but it's already becoming apparent we'll need another one 6 years from now. There is no theory to rule them all I guess, but we shall keep trying. I hope you enjoy. :D

The ~300 presentation slides for the fun / flow video were all done so I went back to the beginning to see if they're good just to find out that I'm no longer happy with how I structured the beginning, so probably have to do another pass on the whole thing before it's ready, haha. Oh well...
Next commercial game is also coming along nicely, spending majority of my time on that. First devlog as soon as we finally managed to lock in a name for the game. Does any of these names speak to you by any chance? It's a peaceful co-op game about Dodos with some async competition through leaderboards.
- Dodo Derby
- Dodo League
- Dodo Squad
- Dodo Cup

SHORT SIGN OF LIFE
- Working on the Flow video, will not post any other vid before that. It's coming! Promise! Taking some time because it's a bigger topic than expected AND because...
- Working on KOBAKO, my free Sokoban-like Box pushing puzzle game, played on a tiny 5 by 5 grid while aiming to achieve nr 1 spot for most difficult puzzle game in the world. (Could use some puzzle enthusiasts for playtesting soon.)
- Working on next commercial release, online multiplayer, still early phase, to be announced, very happy with how it's going so far, going in a bit of a different direction than we initially expected, devlogs at some point
I'm alive, I'm well, super happy with current projects. Thx for sticking with me. :)

The WYS community turned my game Will You Snail into an animated movie with dozens of creative contributors. The whole thing was organized and orchestrated by RGC Exists. Testament to how passionate the community still is about the game. I feel absolutely honored by the fantastic effort! It premiers in about 2 hours. Come hang out. :)
