As some of you already know, my little brother has a rare cancer. Less than 200 people are recorded having it since the 70's. In just a month, it's progressed to stage 3. He's only 20. It's been SO hard. If my game dev advice was ever useful to you, please consider: www.mealtrain.com/trains/y5z8yy

Super grateful for everyone who’s helped and believed in us so far :)

Knew I made the right choice going indie and I’m so proud of what the 5 of us did in less that a year with 0 budget, no publisher and no marketing support :,) this is only the start!!
