Yesterday I created this section, which was the highlight of a day I spent several hours away from home.
SenseiSoloDev
I make games out of passion.
After a lifetime of playing games, it’s time to start building them. I make my own video games and share everything that happens behind the scenes through the newsletter.
Diary
What I did yesterday
A short note a day to force myself to move forward, even on the dullest days.
Projects
Things I am building.
Video games remain at the centre, but along the way I also build tools to solve real problems in my own workflow.
Video games
My video games.
I am currently working on three games with very different scopes and rhythms: a small one to learn the entire publishing process, another that needs more development than expected, and my long-term project.
Working title · In design
MyFirstGame
A narrative management and card-based decision game. You have one year to finish and publish your first video game without neglecting your morale, money, or life.

Clicker Hacker
Incremental clicker mechanics with story and events. Manage resources, level up skills, and uncover hidden secrets.
View project
In development. Slowly but surely.
Esports Manager
An esports management game focused on team narrative: contracts, season goals, club culture, and key decision-making during events.
View projectTools
Tools born from real problems.
Utilities I build to improve my own workflow and that may, over time, become useful to other developers too.

My Shelf · October 2026
There is no theme tying this month's four pieces together. I stopped in front of my shelf and picked out a few different things, with no particular idea in mind. Sometimes it is nice to just let the collection speak for itself.

Captain Tsubasa II: World Fighters after the platinum: the technical side falls short
I love this series so much that I went for the platinum trophy, even though the game keeps insisting that you play something else.

DLSS 5 and the hypocrisy of gaming fans
Apply a tool to any game, get a hideous result and declare the industry dead. The controversy around community experiments looks like a textbook case of manufacturing your own outrage.

Beast of Reincarnation after two playthroughs: I enjoyed it more than most
When I enjoy a game, I try to achieve 100% completion — in this case, by earning the platinum trophy. If you enjoy hack-and-slash games that let you play your way… this coffee is for you.

SenseiSoloDev
I was born in 1990 and I've been playing video games since 1994. I started on a monochrome PC running MS-DOS.
Some of the series that have shaped me the most? PC Fútbol, Tzar, Pokémon, Age of Empires, Caesar, Sim City, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Counter Strike… the list is long.
Even though I studied computer engineering and loved games, it’s only now that I’m wearing the indie developer hat.
