POISON GAMES / DEVLOG
A public record of releases, testing milestones, new projects and lessons from my independent game-development journey as SihleM.
LATEST NOTES
Updates here focus on my personal game-development work and are separate from my employment or any organization I work for.
Book One reached itch.io after a long stretch of work on branching choices, persistent state, consequences, save slots, mobile readability and endings. Releasing it gave me a much clearer understanding of the difference between getting a story playable and preparing it for actual players.

Moving from a browser build toward Google Play testing introduced a new set of practical lessons: packaging, tester access, release tracks, version changes and testing the same game outside the environment where it was originally built.
Read the itch.io devlog ↗I want this portfolio to show growth without pretending that every system I build is expert-level work. The useful part of being at this stage is that every project exposes a new gap: architecture, UI, testing, release preparation or simply learning when a feature has become too complicated. The goal is to make the next build cleaner than the last.
