Hello! I’m Mike Sothern, a software engineer, indie game development enthusiast, and co-founder of skyhr.io, a HR software system tailored for small to medium-sized businesses. By day, I immerse myself in the world of tech, developing solutions that streamline HR processes and enhance employee management. By night, I channel my passion for technology into the realm of indie game development.
Welcome to BluePrintWorks.com, my personal blog where I document my journey into the world of indie game creation. Using Unreal Engine 5, I aim to design a game that not only challenges me as a developer but also captivates and entertains players. On this blog, I’ll share everything from my initial concepts and learning curves to development updates and insights into the tools and techniques I employ. Occasionally, I’ll also offer a peek into my professional life at SkyHR, sharing experiences and reflections that bridge my dual interests in software engineering and game development.
Join me as I navigate the complexities of game design, exploring what it takes to make a standout indie game. Whether you’re a fellow developer, a gaming aficionado, or just curious about the intersection of technology and creativity, there’s something here for everyone.
