I got into YouTube because I had a dream about making my own indie horror games, so I wanted to play other indie games so I could learn but also provide a platform that helps indie game developers get more exposure by playing their games while providing entertainment to viewers. The dream of making an indie horror game was put on hold when I fell in love with the craft of writing, which I only started because I wanted to improve my storytelling skills for the indie horror game I wanted to make, but I found that the story I was creating took me away from the tedious task of writing, and I found that I was creating a story that I absolutely loved.
My first novel, 'The Swords of Unforgotten Memories: The Secrets Beneath the Ripples,' will always hold a special place in my heart. It's a story I never thought I would write, given my struggles with dyslexia and self-doubt. The novel was inspired by three of my favorite video games: The Witcher (which becomes evident upon reading my book and recognizing its influences), the second last installment of God of War, and The Last of Us.
Now that 'The Swords of Unforgotten Memories: The Secrets Beneath the Ripples' is published, I am currently working on writing a LitRPG story titled 'Worlds Beneath the Shadows.' Despite this, I still harbor a strong desire to create my own video game. This website serves as a platform to share my game development journey and some of my writing.
Now you know my story, my interests, and what I hope to create in the future. Thank you for reading my story.
