Hello and welcome to the Ares Softworks Blog.

My name is Kevin.

I work as a Product Manager in the healthcare industry during the day and work on indie games at night (and sometimes apps). This blog is really intended as a diary of how I am trying to manage an often stressful and demanding workspace while still finding time for my family and the pursuit of my passion projects during the limited time left in the evening.

My initial goal is to simply share the progress that I am making on my projects, but also to share useful information, lessons learned, and perhaps an attempt at some sage wisdom from time to time so that others can benefit from my struggle in some way. Along the way, I also want to take time to point out some interesting indie projects that I am excited about to help lift up other indie developers where I can. So, essentially, I'm going against the conventional wisdom to "niche down" into a specific type of content and instead just go wherever I feel compelled to go.

I hope you enjoy the journey. I don't have a mailing list... at least not yet. If you want to follow along, check out the social media links at the top of the page and be notified when I post something new here.

I'm looking forward to connecting with you on these social platforms and learning more about your projects.
