Building Indie Games, a Brand, and a Mission — One Commit at a Time

While most people market first and build later, I’ve been doing the opposite — slowly developing my ecosystem from scratch:

  • A Firebase-powered portfolio
  • Dynamic blog and media embedding systems
  • Infinite scroll content modules
  • Custom routing and modal systems
  • Schema and SEO baked in early

All of this under the Formant banner, a personal brand where I make games inspired by the animals in my life, with the long-term goal of funding an animal sanctuary.

The code is clean(ish), the goals are real, and the foundation is taking shape. With a few grants already secured and projects shipping soon, it feels like the right time to start showing more of the process.

Feedback, support, or fellow indie devs always welcome.
