“I was convinced that the advertisement that even a person unfamiliar with programming can make his own game on this engine is really true. Gate, only with blackjack and unlucky heroines. "
What difficulties did I face in developing my first game?

I develop a game in an atmosphere that is commonly called among writers: “When it's easier to write than not to write.” So it's easier for me to make this game than not to do it. I'm happy that my game has found its fans (400+ reviews on Steam is already something), but I would make it and so. By indie standards, the project is selling well, but considering that I worked for four years, I cannot advise anyone to follow my path. Games for sale are made differently. That's for sure. "
