Hi everyone,

I'm thrilled to officially share that I now have a studio name:

This marks a new step forward for me as a developer, and for the projects I'm building moving ahead.
My first game, Dreamed Away, was an incredibly important journey. I'm beyond grateful for all the support you've shown. It means more than you know.
Right now, I'm working on a new title in partnership with Pineapple Works once again.
I can't share details just yet, but I promise it'll be worth the wait!
You can expect news and announcements in the coming months.
