Hi! I'm Daniel, a 14-year-old Brazilian indie dev who loves creating different, funny and somewhat chaotic games πŸ˜…

I develop my projects with Godot 3.5, using a lot of creativity (and some bugs too, lol).

My current game is "A Survival Game", a 2D survival game with stickmen, cards, perma-death and bizarre decisions.πŸ‘€

and today I just changed the design of my itch.io page because it was terrible before! now it has stickman image effects that shake and everything is great with CSS!πŸ’―

if you want to play the game or learn more
