About Gael 💜
Hey there! I’m Gael, an indie game developer, and the creator behind Violet Beam Games.
Currently, I’m working on Silent Corruption, a survival horror game inspired by classic horror titles, The Long Dark, and Stranger Things. With a focus on atmospheric storytelling and engaging gameplay, this project is very close to my heart, and I can’t wait to bring this haunting world to life. My goal is to create a game that not only scares but also emotionally connects with players.
Since 2017, I’ve been on a self-taught journey in game development, fuelled by my passion for creating immersive, story-driven experiences. From coding and 3D art to game design, I love exploring every facet of game creation. I’m constantly learning, growing, and evolving in this field, and I’m excited to share my journey with fellow indie devs.
Previously, I had the chance to work as a Unity programmer for Squid Shock Studio on Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, marking my first professional experience in the industry. This role sharpened my skills and gave me invaluable insight into indie game development, which I now apply to my own projects.
In addition to game development, I’m committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive community for indie devs, particularly neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folks. As an autistic developer, I understand the importance of creating spaces where people feel comfortable, understood, and celebrated.
My mission is to provide value to the indie game development community. I share my journey, the lessons I’ve learned, and the challenges I face along the way. I aim to offer guidance to other devs who may feel lost in the process, helping them get their games finished. Through my YouTube channel, social media, and my sub-blog Indie Dev With Gael , I hope to make a positive impact on the indie dev scene and connect with others passionate about game creation.
Thank you for stopping by! I can’t wait to share more of my journey and the games I’m working on. Let’s grow and create together.
