Clyde Smetssolo game dev

Solo Game Developer

Hi, I'm Clyde. I design, code, model and ship my games by myself, mostly in Godot, and build tools that help other game developers.

By day I'm a Product Engineer at FirstLook, the player CRM for understanding, engaging and growing your playerbase. Right now I'm making Precious Feather, and the demo is out.

Precious Feather

Hunt for the perfect feather. Feed what's waiting at home. Sleep if you can. The rent will be due.

You play as a loyal wife to your husband. He needs a perfect feather to win the fedora competition so he can pay the rent. He isn't normally this grumpy and rude, but maybe it's just the stress.
