Year-End Gaming Wrap-Up

My top 3 games this year:

Genshin Impact, by Hoyoverse (but you probably guessed that 😛)

Hungry Cat Picross, by Tuesday Quest

Sorcery School, by Pretty Simple

The same friend who got me into Genshin got me into Sorcery School, and it changed the way I view mobile games.

Mechanically, it's a simple card game, but it's so much more than that. There's a story that unfolds as you progress. You fight monsters, you gain abilities. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil anything.

Closing out 2025, I set out to build visually rich, top tier mobile games and apps. I focused on the hard parts as a solo dev, core systems, multiple modes, UI architecture, VFX, art direction, and performance. I also revived my research tools (macOS and Windows) and shared a playable build at PGC Dubai. Thanks for following along, wishing you a great New Year. #YearInReview #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Unity #MobileGames #UIUX #BuildInPublic

It's the last #ScreenshotSaturday of 2025!

As the year comes to a close, we’d love to see what you’re building with Defold.

Are you polishing something that’s nearly ready to ship, or laying the groundwork for a fresh project in the new year?

My apologies for the bit of repeated self-promotion, but now that the Christmas sprint is over I thought maybe you’d like to try out my first iOS game while you’re slacking off in your pajamas. 😄
