Good question. I started working right after what we call "middle school" in the Netherlands which translates to high school I think. During the daytime I would work my job and in the evening self-study for the "Open University" we have here.
I lived with my parents during this time and could save up money as a buffer. Thanks to that support I could financially bridge these past years of development without worrying too much. Also: keeping expenses as low as possible. My product is old school and so are my computers.

- echelon 7y agoYou're killing it! Great choices, fantastic execution. You're going to go far. Keep it up!
- ItsFirefly 7y agoThanks! A slight word of warning though, something that also came up during yesterday's livestream: I've been really lucky to be able to successfully fulfill my childhood dream by making this game. But like Freddie Mercury sung: it's [not always] been a bed of roses or a pleasure cruise. I've sacrificed progress in other areas of my life to see this through to the end. I hope to catch up there starting as early as next year. Nonetheless I definitely wouldn't be the same without having taken on this adventure. I've grown so much as a developer, an entertainer and even as a person by creating Angeldust.
