Hey folks,
I was until recently a software developer (mostly backend web, with some system/GUI development in Java and C++). Now I'm trying to break into indie game dev. I'm still very new to game development—I have yet to actually finish a game. Working in a team keeps me focused, though. Plus, I won't get hung up over my bad art if someone else is doing the art. ;)
I've been dabbling with libGDX, MonoGame, and Phaser.js. I'd consider picking up RenPy or Unity for this, too.
As a bonus, I am actually a queer woman. Queer relationships are totally my jam.
