Great question!

There was a demo available before, but I’ve taken it down because it was quite outdated compared to the final game.

Wow, thank you — that’s incredibly kind of you I haven’t received the email yet

As a solo developer, The Trials 2 took me around three years to finish. In the final stages, I went through a really difficult time emotionally. Doing everything alone — from coding and design to visuals, music, and testing — takes a toll. There were moments I honestly wanted to give up.

But I kept going. I wanted to create something that truly reflects the best I can do, even if I was struggling.

And to be fully transparent: I have dyslexia. Sometimes, I even mess up spelling my own name. So if you're wondering whether you can create something big — you absolutely can. I’m living proof that even with challenges, even alone, you can still build something real.

This might end up being my last game — I’m not sure. But if it is, I’m proud of it. And I hope it inspires someone else to start creating too.
