I independently produced and released two commercial indie games on Steam: Timeloop Titans and 9 Lives to Escape.
I managed the full production process from early concept development through launch, including:
- Game concept and production planning
- Game and level design
- Gameplay direction and feature prioritization
- Asset selection and integration
- Testing, balancing and quality control
- Steam store page preparation
- Release planning and publishing
- Post-launch updates and improvements
The projects required balancing creative direction, technical implementation, scope, deadlines and commercial presentation. This experience gave me a practical understanding of the complete indie game production cycle—not only how to develop a game, but how to prepare and successfully release it on Steam.
Tools and skills: Unity, game production, game design, project management, quality assurance, Steam publishing and release strategy.
