ABOUT

I’m Dean, a game developer and software engineer building tools, systems, and stories from scratch. FEAR//LESS GAME DEV is my space to build in public; through my blog, podcast, and live dev streams, where I document the journey of game development in all its messy, uncertain, and rewarding detail.

This isn’t about chasing trends or comparing yourself to others. It’s about finding what works for you and sharing what’s working for me. I talk openly about mindset, motivation, fear, burnout, and the daily reality of solo development. Whether I’m hacking away at my custom C++ game engine (Umbra Engine) or other C++ Games, or writing about process and productivity, it’s all part of the same goal: to grow by showing up.

FEAR//LESS is a reminder that we’re all figuring it out. And that’s exactly the point.

Be fearless in your creativity, learn to fear less, and embrace the journey.
