It’s been a while since my last post. During this time, I’ve worked on several game prototypes, but nothing ever felt worth sharing publicly. A lot has changed in recent years — not just in the world, but also in my perspective on the industry, society, and creativity. Still, one thing remained constant: my passion for game development.
Rebuilding Momentum
Now feels like the right time to reactivate some of my old marketing channels and create new ones. I want to rebuild a consistent workflow — pursuing small but meaningful projects with enthusiasm, without burning out. My goal: finally build a game I can truly be proud of. One that lets me say, “I gave it everything I had.”
Timbertales & Streaming – A Learning Experience
Last year, I began streaming my work on a new version of Timbertales, porting it to Godot and recreating its core features. I made solid technical progress — but streaming every day while developing was overwhelming. Speaking English on stream while thinking deeply in code didn’t come naturally to me.
These days, I still stream regularly — but now I focus on gameplay streams in German, and that feels far more authentic and sustainable.
Why I’m Coming Back – Again
My heart has always belonged to indie game development. After nearly four years of freelancing in eCommerce, I find myself longing for something more intellectually and creatively fulfilling. That had always been the plan when I became self-employed — but somewhere along the way, the focus shifted entirely to financial survival.
Now, I want to realign with that original intention: to create complex, meaningful software that challenges me.
Uncertainty & Small Sparks of Inspiration
Truth be told, I’m still figuring things out. Everything feels difficult. I often find myself asking:
- Where should I even start?
- What do I truly want to make?
- What’s the next right step?
But I’ve recently rediscovered my curiosity for Blender and 3D modeling — working through a few tutorials has helped me reconnect with creativity. It’s not a full plan yet, but it’s a spark.
What’s Next?
This post sat in my drafts for quite a while — and in the meantime, things have already started to move. I can now tease that I’m working on something new, and I’ll share more about it in my next blog post.
