About the developer:

My name is Max Nielsen, I'm a normal guy from Sweden in his late twenties. During the day I work a job as an application consultant for a medium-size tech company. I love everything gaming related; playing, watching, developing.

For the last two years I've been spending evenings and weekends working on a game named "The Long Return". The game actually started out as a small demo to use for my portfolio, I was working on another city management RPG at the time. But I ended up having a ton of fun working in 3d (yes my other game was 2d) so I decided to stick it out.

Plans for IndieDB & Youtube:

I gave my self 4 months between announcement and release for two reasons;

1. I want to polish, polish, polish.
2. I want to make sure I reach out to people and help people discover my game.

I plan to post here on IndieDB when I have something worth to share. As for Youtube, I plan to make a few "making of" videos that might be interesting for anyone wanting to take part in the process from start to finish :)
