Age 35.
As a kid, took piano lessons and played with https://GameMaker.io to make a little game.
Thought he'd be an engineer.
Went to Cambridge, UK to do A-levels and university for engineering.
While there, made a flash game - the first version of Rhythm Doctor:

Then for a quick sprint weekend challenge made A Dance of Fire and Ice:

Now they are a team of people doing this full-time, quite successful.
He let me see behind the scenes of his Steam creator portal.
He’s sold tens of millions of his games.
It’s so impressive.
Even more impressive to me is the fan community that’s grown around Fire and Ice, with thousands of people in Korea and China especially making custom levels and doing masterful things with it that he never imagined.
