I have designed, developed, and published 7 INDIE games as a solo developer.  I first started out with trying for crowdfunding to help make my game designs and getting published a reality.  that did not work for me.  through passion, lots to learn, and working through many challenges with some awesome people over the years I have not only made 1 game, but my 7th hit steam in March 2021.   more information and links to the games are available on steam
