After I graduated with a computer science degree, I spent a year playing competitive chess. I had already dedicated a lot of my free time in the last two years of my degree to chess and I couldn't wait to be done with school so that I

I've been using Unity for more than half a decade at this point. Some of their choices along the way have been really frustrating to deal with, but on the whole, they've empowered me and plenty of colleagues to create things we mi

I love that you admitted to the movie part! I think there is a lot of personal satisfaction to be gained from using financial freedom to create art, even if it's not quite as easy to articulate to other people compared to the benefits

I released a puzzle game on the Microsoft Store last year. I have to admit I had fairly modest expectations from this platform -- I was also releasing my game on a couple of other platforms and I did not expect many sales from the Microsoft
