Today is the 1 year anniversary of quitting my job and becoming a full time solo game dev! It's odd because my solo studio is still not profitable, but I am hopeful for the future with Hexagod releasing this month and starting to prototype my 3rd commercial game.

Game Dev Coaching:
I offer coaching for $50/hour (billed in 15 minute increments). You get a 1-1 session to chat about all things game development. This could range from reviewing your game's design, brainstorming ideas, or really anything game development related. Making games is hard and I have found a lot of help by simply talking to others who are also making games. Send me a message on Discord (Aarimous) or email me aarimous@gmail.com. Cheers!
