About the developer
I’m Mike, the solo developer of Exodus Borealis. I’ve always been passionate about creating and games. When getting my Comp Sci degree, I found myself gravitating and focusing on graphical programming. Upon graduation, I was unhappy with the conditions and treatment I was seeing for entry level game development positions. I didn’t want an earnings focused employer to kill my passion for designing and building games. So, I took a programming job outside of the games industry, vowing to return when I could do development on my own terms.
It may have taken a while, but after 15 years of work, I quit my job to independently develop games full time. After 18 months of blood, sweat, and tears, I now set to meet my goal of releasing my dream strategy game – Exodus Borealis!
