In October of 2023, I left my career in Education - and focused my sights on the game industry. In April of 2024, in the midst of the biggest layoff crisis in game history, I started Cave Bear Games, a new development studio by, and for, juniors in the games industry. The community exploded in support and we went viral. In August, 4 months later, we achieved over 18 thousand followers. In December, we reached 26 thousand. With this success, I launched the Partner Studio Program, a community of indie founders working together to succeed. We now have over 80 studios in the program, and accept more applications every week. To support these indies, our Discord hosts over 2600 volunteer developers looking for projects.
In April of 2025, a year into development, we launched our first title, Plantasia, into Early Access on Steam.
“No one told her it was impossible to rapid-fire two stones from a sling, because it had never been done before, and since no one told her she couldn’t, she taught herself to do it.” - Jean M. Auel, The Clan of the Cave Bear
