What’s happened since I made this project:

In June this year, I graduated from the University of the West of Scotland with a degree in Computer Games Development. Achieving this degree was a long-term dream of mine. Another dream I had was to become a solo game developer, and I’m proud to say that I have. In November 2023, I founded my own studio, Ludus Pax Studios.

My first commercial game is called Rise of the Village Hero! It is a small indie RPG where players take control of the reluctant hero

If you enjoy it, please consider wishlisting or purchasing my early access game to support my studio:

You can also wishlitst my second upcoming game Path to Serenity:

Path to Serenity is a chill cosy walking simulator who takes players on the journey of Jim trying to find the right path in his life.

Thank you for your support!
