Hello! My name is Matt Marshall. I'm a solo indie dev who made Dystopika, a dark cozy city toy, while nomading around Asia. I'm a designer, developer, producer, and director, building up a small global indie studio with other talented folks.

Finished The Bear season 5 over the weekend. Truly one of the great series of the past 10 years that I will think about the rest of my life. The final season went hard on all its best qualities.

"Why would anyone who has worked hard, saved money, often been successful in other fields, want to pump their hard-earned cash down a hole that statistically, at least, will almost surely prove dry?"
