I run Retronator, a blog about pixel art, and work on Pixel Art Academy, an adventure game for learning how to draw.

That just might be my favorite track from Guitar Hero 2, but what is the road I'm traveling on?

I've recently graduated and it's a pivotal point in my life. The student life has ended and it's time to capitalize on what I've learned so far.

I've created this profile earlier this year, when I started working on a prototype for a new game. It was after my first commercial game release and it was time to create again. Things were good, but it was the calm before the storm.

Real life intervened and I've spent the rest of the year finishing exams and writing my thesis. Then something unexpected happened. While I was waiting for my graduation date to arrive I've worked on a crazy experimental side project that could let me translate an iPhone game to Windows with little more than a press of a button. The button worked and my road took a detour to launch my first commercial game on Windows.

This is the start of my journey. Armed with a working Windows binary and a bag full of praising reviews, it's time to make it or break it. Real game development life. It starts here and now!
