ABOUT MY CHANNEL
My idea for this channel is to share my journey as a software developer.

I've been working as a developer for close to 10 years now. So although coming into this quite late I thought that I should give it a try anyway.

And what can you expect to see in this channel?
Mostly, game development tutorials where I recreate retro games using current engines. I'm thinking about starting with Scratch and Stencyl and going all the way to Unity and Unreal.

And in between these videos, I'll be posting some other projects that I'm working on. Mobile app development with Flutter, mobile games with Unity among others.
