[DevFraccas (James Ward) @DevFraccas]

I got into coding in 2011 because a Pokémon fan game was looking for devs.

Studied CS in college.

Now I’ve published multiple games across Steam, mobile, and web.

Here’s what I’ve learned and developed so far.

Who's ready to run the worst doggy daycare known to man in Steam's upcoming NextFest?

Only a few weeks until we release our demo!

Someone made a co-op dog daycare game where the dogs are basically the disaster system. 😂

Feed them, wash them, walk them, clean up after them, and try to keep the place running while escape artists test the gates, zoomies destroy your plans, and some dogs wait until you look away before causing problems.

Kennel Chaos by @WatashiColorize supports up to 8 players, has 21 breeds with different traits, and everything is hands-on. No staff menus, no automation, just you, your friends, and a building full of very questionable dogs.

This one just joined PokeIndie. 🐶

Can't wait to share our indie game demo for "Kennel Chaos" in Steam's upcoming NextFest event!

Think you and your friends can handle taking on the role of running a chaotic doggy daycare?

Based on a real job the developer had back in college!

@Donkey_DAO @AndrewMKotulak Yes sir! 9-5 as a software engineer at a company, then 5-9 as a game dev. Both C#.

@frugalbc Not really in my experience. Going from web3 startup back to corporate in the age of AI as a software engineer I was pretty nervous.

Applied for 10 jobs. 3 reached out for interview, got to the final 3rd interview for two of them, and took the 1st offer I received of those two.

Huge shoutout to @FracctalLabs, true $ALGO OGs! Love seeing Fracctal TCG gain strong traction! 👏

Plenty of great reviews on @Steam from players spending hours on a game built on Algorand, often without even knowing it!

Gaming is a great way to onboard new people! 🔥
