About Russell Matney
I\'m an indie game dev trying to make games make the rent! I love engineering both games and addons.I released 3 games on Steam in 2024, and lately I\'m porting one of them (Dot Hop) to an iOS and Android release.Most of my games and projects are open-source, feel free to peruse my github.Before switching to full-time game dev in 2022, I spent ~10 years doing full-stack web and data engineering. I worked on, hired for, and managed small teams of passionate engineers.My passions are minimalism, moving fast, obsessing with tools, and improving team workflows.

Lately I\'m porting Dot Hop to iOS and Android.I maintain a pretty-printer for Godot called Log.gd - it colorizes and pretty-prints your print statements.
