Game dev working on Rotten Dawn, a zombie survival game. Overcoming personal challenges one day at a time. Passionate about resilience and creativity.
Forgot I was on here 😅.

Massive improvements on all services, still developing, still creating, still surviving, still homeless, still being abused by a government service that's meant to "protect".

Still writting my life into code...

Rotten Dawn isn’t just a game—it’s proof that we can rebuild, no matter how broken things may seem.

When things seem rotten, there is always a new dawn on the horizon - just ask the sun.

Big meeting with the solicitors in a hour... Nervous isn't the best word to describe how I'm feeling...

But I'm hoping, we can get together and push all this shit forward... Fucking fed up at the moment 😢

Despite being homeless, I use #TeamViewer on my laptop to access my home PC and code for hours remotely. Let’s keep it quiet—wouldn’t want social to think I’m home and find an excuse to prosecute me!

Forgot about here 😅.

Been too busy with my personal life, and everything that I've forgot to update my socials for a while..

A couple of days ago, Cursor went down during the ChatGPT outage. I stared at my terminal facing those red error messages that I hate to see. An AWS error glared back at me. I didn’t want to figure it...

#RottenDawn is about when life seems rotten, a new dawn awaits.

In this years valentines letter to my wife, I wrote,
"I love you more then words can express, and i hold onto the promise of a new dawn, where our love can shine bright again."

Due to our situation, we cant spend it together 😢😭
The night is a reminder that even the darkest times end with the light of a new day.

As this Aussie🏳️‍⚧️Girl sleeps, I hope you all have a beautiful day.

❤️GOODNIGHT EVERYONE❤️
PEACE LOVE KINDNESS
