About

Michael Christensen-Calvin / March 2023

Hello there, and welcome to my site!

I am a independent game developer working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have worked in the gaming industry since I graduated college. First at Zynga, where I worked on a city builder, and then a mobile slots game, and then to try and work off some of that gambling karma went to Osmo to make children’s educational games. Finally I decided it was time to try and make my own dreams into a reality, and left to start my own company, Hodgepodge Games LLC!

I released my first game, Chalk Pop and started work on what I wanted to be my magnum opus before realzing that tackling a huge simulation project totally alone as my second independant project was way too much to handle. So now I am working on making smaller games to get into a good cadence without overwhelming myself.
