From iPhone Apps to Full‑Time Solo Development

I originally began as a solo iPhone app developer.

Back in high school, I taught myself how to code and created my first app entirely on my own: MistWorld.

To my surprise, MistWorld reached #1 on the paid app charts, which gave me the confidence to continue as an independent developer after graduation instead of pursuing a traditional job.

Since then, I’ve released multiple titles in the MistWorld series across iPhone, Android, and Nintendo Switch, including:

MistWorld2, AnotherMistWorld, TapMW, MistWorldTA1, MistWorldTA2.

After releasing MistlessStory—a project aimed at stepping beyond the MistWorld series—I shifted my focus to Steam.

My first Steam title was ChokoNana, and now I’m fully dedicated to developing my next project: Ryne‑Arca.

(ChokoNana was originally planned as my final mobile title, but due to platform restrictions, I rebuilt it as a Steam release.)
