Truth is I never felt "READY" to make my first commercial game.. but after 2 years of learning game dev I made my goal to simply release a game on Steam. Years later I'm blow away by how much I've learned and how much more there is to learn!

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!
