I make games for my daughter. You’re welcome to play them too.

Hi, I’m The Indie Dad.

I’m not a studio. I don’t have a big team, a fancy office, or a mysterious publisher funding my questionable decisions.

I’m just a dad making little indie games for my daughter.

It usually happens at night, after bedtime — one level, one character, one bug that definitely wasn’t there five minutes ago.

My games are made to be simple enough for small hands, fun enough to play together on the couch, and full of the kind of little secrets and surprises I loved finding in games when I was a kid.

My daughter is the inspiration, the target audience, the playtester, and occasionally the person who informs me that something I spent three hours making is “boring.”

She has final creative approval.

The Indie Dad is where I’ll publish the games I make for her as she grows up.

The first one is Adelaide: A Tiny Adventure — a handcrafted platform adventure made especially for her.

More little worlds will follow.

Made after bedtime. Tested by a kid. Powered by coffee. ☕ ❤️ Dad-made games for little players.
