Making A Game In A Year
Check out Lumina Rush here: store.steampowered.com/app/2872830/Lumina_Rush/
I made a game called Lumina Rush in a year. This is the journey of how I went from just learning about game dev to making a full on game that I sold.
It's been a wild journey and I appreciate all that have helped make it happen.

    Releasing your first game is always the hardest because you’re paving yourself a path. Once you do it once, you already know you can do it, and the path is already laid out in front of you.
