About
I am Jacob Bolen, a solo indie developer building atmospheric games and system-driven experiences. I work under LastGenMedia and handle design, programming, and tooling end-to-end.

What I like to build and why it fits solo development.
Indie-first scope
- Small, complete projects with clear design goals
- Replayability through systems and progression
- Atmosphere and tension built through pacing
Solo development
- Design, programming, UI, and tooling in one pipeline
- Automation for builds, content iteration, and data
- Practical choices that keep scope under control
