Hello

02 Jan 2025

Hey!

This is a blog about my independent game dev adventures!

I’ve worked professionally in the games industry as a programmer for about 13 years, and I plan to post thoughts on games and game development, tutorials about C++ and Unreal, and updates for projects that I am working on.

The first thing I am working on is a course to help you learn some Blueprint and C++ basics for Unreal. I hope it will be especially useful for people who are coming to Unreal from Unity.

To be honest, I’m hoping to use this page to direct traffic towards things that bring me income so I can develop games independently. The dream!

Thanks for swinging by!
