I had the pleasure of working with Jay doing the character illustrations on his indie space shooter, a couple of years before I started coding professionally. This was the article that always stayed with me, especially at times when progress was difficult (which became especially poignant 18 months ago with my ADHD diagnosis).

These days he works for a VR company, but his main creative activity has been writing sci-fi/fantasy/horror novels for some years now, and he has his own series.

PS. I was going to say this article was from way further back than 2014, but on reading the post it appears it was his own repost.

I remember that one—was always sad that Rampant didn't go on to make more games, but it seems like Jay went on to do some cool stuff in other areas.

I'm sure he did more than just one game, but the revenue wasn't enough and he had a family to feed. We connected on GarageGames back in the day, which saw some reasonable success. I think it's easier these days to make a living as an indie game developer, but it's still very much a hit-driven business.
