Developer Bio
I spent 2 years building Cosmic Gold Rush, a space mining game designed to run anywhere, from your gaming PC to your phone between 2 metro stops. I wanted to create strategy and meaningful choices, not just flashy graphics.
Built with Godot 4.4 on a Linux Fedora laptop because I am a fan of open source. It is not the easy choice, but the right one. The result: a game optimized to run on your phone, your PC, even that 2015 laptop. It uses less RAM than your web browser.
Launching in 40 languages from day one, because everyone deserves to play.
Solo developer. First commercial release. Your feedback drives every update.
