changedIt all started with a casual moment. As a programmer, I was playing some strategy games and thought, "Hey, I think I could make a game like this…" and since I’ve always loved this kind of genre, I decided to give it a shot. I started learning Unity, UI/UX, storytelling, gameplay design, even game marketing. It was a slow process at first I also work full-time but every bit of free time I had, I poured into this project. Piece by piece, I built it on my own (well… with some help from AI too 😄).
addedI know it’s not perfect. But I’m incredibly proud that what started as a random idea has grown into something real. Presidential Rise now has a Steam page and a playable demo. For me, that’s already a huge milestone and I hope you can feel the passion I’ve poured into this game.

Honestly, throughout this development journey, I discovered something I’ve never felt before: a sense of freedom, creativity, and something that truly feels like me.
Through this game, I’m expressing a vision that came straight from my mind and heart and now I get to share it with the world.
