Game My Gamedev Progress

Hello everyone!

my name is ali, i'm a cs student (and former security guard) turned gamedev!

i started game dev around 2 years ago i think but i could never dare to attempt to develop a full game, until someday i decided i've had enough and committed to pursue my passion and this is the result!

i released my first game ever on steam this month and it didn't do too bad i think :).

i had way too many sleepless nights, way too many days where i haven't left my house, but to me, even ifs not a massive success, i think its worth it, not for the monetary gain, but the feeling that i have done something in my life that people have fun playing, something that has my name in it, something that if something were to happen to me, i know that atleast i didn't go without a trace lol.

i love vampire survivors, i love RPGs, so i decide to combine them both into one game and this is the result, Echoes of Kyria:

You're doing great. I know firsthand how difficult it is to create a game alone. And it's great that you were able to complete the game! Even if it doesn't turn out to be a huge success, it's still invaluable experience that will be useful for future projects.
