About
I'm Jacob Bolen, a solo indie developer under LastGenMedia. I build atmospheric games and systems-driven experiences, handling design, programming, UI, 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
