The Developer
My name is Erik Hagen. I made this alone. No studio, no publisher, no team of twelve. Just me, some forum tutorials, some AI help for the grunt work, and two years of evenings.
The game shipped in 22 days of crunch. The marketing took another week. Then 12,400 people put it on their wishlist and I had to sit down.
"I built this alone. Nights and weekends for two years. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this."
