So, question pops up when someone like me decide

Take a break

From producing and start coaching

Why don't I just create another game

What are the answers is simply

I need a break

I've been making games for over a decade

But the primary reason is more than obvious demand from my audience for such a course

It's been apparent in the comments on my YouTube channel my email

My audience has been begging for an in-depth

Step-by-step course

How to create games from scratch

Become a full-time Game Dev

So to give you some assurances

Here's what I've accomplished in my

Tenure career

As an indie game developer

I now work

Full-time making and selling my indie games

Bringing in a consistent six figure income year after year

In fact

It's because of the monetary success of my previous

Five titles coma

Skinny

Pinstripe

0 deaths and never song

That I'm able to actually take some time away from game development

And share the secrets that I've learned

Let me give you a quick breakdown of my sales figures

Assure you that on the right

Before I start

Bragging a little bit please no

I made some really

Terrible games

Priorities

It wasn't without showing the world my pitiful blatant rip-off

Or Mike funky Peter Pan simulator pan Zappa

Before I was able to start seeing some real income

But here's what I've been able to achieve

Not a simple degree

Everything I know about marketing and graphic design however

That was learned while on the job at a B2B marketing age

I spent three years producing all things digital mark

Like emails

Product commercials and more

This experience along with a decade of selling my indie game

Will come in handy
