Well, well, well. Munch O Crunch Run launched almost a week ago, and I think I’ve felt every emotion under the sun. This post might be a little raw, but I want to be as honest as I can be. When I was about to hit the release button, I knew a few things. My audience is very small, so getting the game into the hands of players was always going to be a challenge.

My dream, my goal, is to make game development my full-time focus. I love making games. I love creating. I love exploring new ideas. But if I want to turn this passion into a career that supports my family, I have to treat it like a business. And that means figuring out how to make it sustainable, how to make enough to ke

I’m coming close to the finish line with Munch O Crunch Run , and wow, what a journey it’s been. I started a fresh Unity game development project back in late February 2024, and now I’m just weeks away from hitting that big launch button. A few months into development, a friend introduced me to the concept of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and that became my mission. My goal was simple: get the game to a point where everything works as intended, release it, and see what peo
