About me

Michael Christensen-Calvin / March 2023 (88 Words, 1 Minutes)

Hello! My name is Michael and I am a game developer. I have been a professional game developer for the past 10 years. I have worked at a large mobile game company for a number of years, and then tried to work off some of that karma by working at an educational kid’s game company. Eventually I decided to start my own indie studio (just me for now) and try to flex my creative muscles and make the games I really want to make.

Attempt number 5+ at starting a dev blog for myself that I hope to actually stick to (I’ve definitely never said that before….). I have tried this many times in the past, and never made them stick. I have tried using Ghost, Jekyll, custom pages, etc.. and always ended up leaving them behind within like 3 posts.

I have started using org-roam since my last attempt though, and it has made me much better at taking down my notes. I am still spriadic at it, but I have also been somewhat successful at using the dailies functions to create simple quick notes. I have mostly been using it to do End of Day updates for myself, which has helped a bit for making me feel accountable for my time since I stopped having a boss or team to work with.

Overall, I am looking forward to keeping a devlog to also keep me accountable, and to hopefully contribute back to the community of blog posts that have helped me tremendously over the years.

Enjoy, and I hope you are having a wonderful day!
