MY STORY

I'm SQUABIX. At the time of release, I am a 17-year-old developer who started building CRAFTLANDER in November of 2025. My journey making games started in 2019 with the Godot Game Engine when I was 10 years old. I loved building worlds that could be experienced by anyone, and game development seemed like the ultimate creative outlet between designing and coding and drawing and 3D modeling.

This project serves as a capstone to all of the 7 years of work I have put into game development so far. I learned so much along the way. I am so proud of this project and I hope that you enjoy!
