Who is Goodgis?

I'm a full-time graphic designer, game developer, and Youtuber. I specialize in creating cute, colorful games in Godot and telling my story in my videos. I also run my own small game studio called Firith. My dream is to hire my friends and make Firith a full-time job. I'm known for games like The Keeyp, Wizbirds, Snomes, and Dewdrop Dynasty.
