If you like turn-based card games: Try the game on itchio and/or wishlist it on Steam. It would mean a lot to me. ❀️

I found myself thinking, that it's actually super cool to focus into one game until it's complete.

But I couldnt do it if the project would last more than 4 weeks.

Maybe this "one game each month" is a good idea (for me)?

Indie Game Developers Handbook - Is now open for Pre-Orders!

It's the first book I've ever written from start to finish but also: It's the first time I'm sharing my career experiences so transparently. I would even call that some sort of "life story".

Here is a short description of the book:

Indie Game Developer’s Handbook: Chapter 1 – Roots of Our Craft

A personal story from a solo indie game developer who’s been in the industry since 2009. This book shares the ups and downs of the journey so far β€” but also takes a deeper look into the motives and mindset behind choosing the indie path.

Alongside the stories, you’ll find hands-on tools: Practice Modules β€” short, practical exercises for learning what it means to be (or become) an indie game developer.

These include:
- Design guidelines – How to create clear rules for your game designs to stay focused, reduce scope creep, and keep development time manageable.
- Art guidelines – How to define an art style that’s readable, simple, and uniquely yours.
- System guidelines – Practical advice for building game code structures that cover essential functionality β€” without overengineering.
- Find your authentic motives – Exercises to help you discover what truly drives you to make games, and how to build around that purpose.
