summary
Career moves from Gameloft programmer to game designer to journalist to publisher to indie lead, working on Asphalt and 128 kilobyte mobile games, then five months unemployed, eight months at a six‑person startup, 3.5 years editing a regional games site, and 2.5 years at Toge Productions where over ten titles are handled and the visual novel Coffee Talk is pitched in a jam, developed and shipped; key lessons are communication, marketing and PR, networking, budgeting, legal setup and managed expectations, now running indie projects and consulting.
