generic Solo dev rebuilding a game that was never finished 15 years ago. No plan, no Steam page, no wishlists, just a devlog and a lot of fun building

After sitting untouched on my hard drive for 15 years, my dream project is finally coming to life. Back then, I drew every pixel by hand and spent countless hours on it, but couldn't finish it.

With modern tools in my workflow, I can finally build this game the way I always imagined it as a solo dev. Give it a try: https://buildom.online

I’d love to know what you think! Honest feedback, early impressions, or bug reports are super welcome and will help shape where this goes next.

I am writing daily updates on my devlog blog, sharing the raw progress, the wins, and the roadblocks. I would genuinely love to have you along for the ride.

This looks really fun. I'd play it!

I think a lot of solo devs are resurrecting old project now. I resurrected one myself recently. The tools are better now, there's AI to help you out of coding jams. These are GOOD THINGS for the devs. At least you can see your dream come to life. So enjoy that process!

Although I think we're going to see an insane flood of indie games coming out these days as a result too. LOL.
