Dear Players,

After several months of hard work, I can finally announce the launch day of Horror Tycoon in early access! 👻

The game will be available to play on
OCTOBER 20th, 2022, at 8 am PDT! 🔥

I've been working on creating this video game for over a year... but in some weird way, I've been working on this game since I was a kid building haunted houses in my backyard out of refrigerator boxes I'd take from the appliance store dumpster.

I always wanted to make video games but never had the logical brain to understand code, I just saw numbers and weird punctuation marks and it just looked like nonsense to me. I have always been a visual/audio learner. So I never pursued learning how to code and instead worked on music for the past 25 years.

Growing up I was playing video games like rollercoaster tycoon, sim city, the Sims, cities skylines and then a game came out called Planet Coaster.... Never in a million years would I have imagined that a single video game would have changed my life, and the people on that team changed my life. I became the official U.S. brand ambassador for that game and traveled to a bunch of game conventions where I met some of my game development idols and became inspired all over again and this time I was determined to figure out how to make a video game of my own. Even if it was just for my own entertainment.

About 7 years ago, I started trying every game engine out there but finally I tried the Unreal Engine from Epic Games. I had heard about an interesting way a user could use that engineer to make games. It's called visual scripting/visual programming and things just clicked. It all made sense, well not everything but things were finally starting to make sense. I started teaching myself everything I could with YouTube tutorials, Reddit threads, forums, and discord servers. I never went to college and barely graduated high school... I'm self taught with everything I've ever done.
Fast forward 5 years and I released my first video game for Android devices determined to make this a career...

And now...I'm about to release my passion project Horror Tycoon as a solo/independent video game developer and small business owner.

Horror Tycoon is coming out on Steam early access on October 20th!

It's not done, but will be a sort of "living project"/work in progress and evolving based on player feedback from the amazing community that's growing every single day.

I'm excited, I'm scared, I'm nervous but most importantly I am proud I took the risk, took a chance and put it all on the line. Thanks to everyone who has been with me from the very beginning until now. 🤝
