James Rowbotham's Blog
My name is James, I’m an indie game developer (@cbGameDev). I make bigger games with my friends in a studio I helped start up and make smaller games on my own in my spare time! I enjoy the challenge of working on big scale games in a team and I use the smaller games to have some fun, learn and stay motivated through shorter development cycles.

A postmortem about a game I made called 'Indie Dev Story': A singleplayer 'clicker' game which tries to mimic the frantic feeling of being an indie developer; making your game while trying to stay healthy, social and earning enough money to pay the bills!
