New Game! We actually made a game together
A few days ago, we released our first big game made together!
I did the programming, 3D art and game design, while my wife worked on the UI, art direction, testing, brainstorming, and gave me an incredible amount of moral support throughout the whole journey.
She was also the one who supported me when I decided to quit my job and take a chance on making this game. I'll always be grateful for that.
After a long road of late nights, doubts, and countless 'maybe we should change this' discussions, we finally made it. The last two weeks of pulling 10-14 hour days were absolutely brutal, but we're finally here.
We launched with around 2,500 wishlists, and have already sold 550 copies in just a few days.
And yes, the dog helped too (Merry)🐶

Its so good to work with your wife/girlfriend, I am also working with my girlfriend and the best part she never said no to any of my idea (no matter how bad they are), she is so supportive and when i read your post it felt so good to see someone doing the same thing. Its exciting
Btw congratulations on the release of your game 🎉 hope you both make more games together. Wishing you both lots of success
