About Me
I'm Iron, an indie game developer building Burned Out!. Before games, I spent more than a decade leading international trade, logistics, and supply-chain operations across retail, mining, and manufacturing.
Burned Out! comes directly from that world. I wanted to turn process bottlenecks, paperwork overload, and office stress into a co-op game that feels funny, readable, and satisfying under pressure.
Today, I handle the project end to end: gameplay, systems, UI/UX, art and audio integration, builds, iteration, marketing, the trailer, and the Steam page. My goal is to create games people can have fun playing together, built around clear systems, strong feedback and fun chaos.
Why I Make Games
I’ve loved games for a long time, but what finally pushed me into making them was the need to build something of my own, something playful, challenging, and worth sharing with other people.
What draws me most to games is how they create shared moments: laughter, pressure, mistakes, recovery, and all the things people remember after playing together. That’s a big part of what I want to build.
I’m especially interested in games people can laugh their way through, talk over, and slowly get better at together. Game development is also a personal shift for me. After years in other industries, this is the work I chose to build for myself, something more creative, more direct, and more honest about the kinds of experiences I want to put into the world.
Burned Out! comes directly from years spent working with pressure, paperwork, bottlenecks, and the strange rhythm of office life reimagined as something playful, social, and chaotic.
Recognition
Burned Out! was recognized as a Top 50 entry in the Tripo3D Portal Pass Game Jam S1 2026. The organizers later confirmed a 14th-place finish overall.
