Let Me Introduce Myself

A Journey To Self-Discovery:

Hellohello!
I’m MidiRiots.

I’ve always been a daydreamer, fantasizing about creating my own video games. As a child, I loved drawing and composing my own video game melodies.

Unfortunately, I never felt supported by my family in pursuing my creativity, which led to a lack of courage to follow my dreams. As a result, I tried to live a life where I never truly felt like I belonged. I tried many things—went back to school to earn a higher degree, studied, studied again, and so on.

But every achievement I attained felt like it wasn’t really mine.

It was only a matter of time before I experienced burnout, which led to depression.
It was a tough time, but I realized that every crisis also presents an opportunity to rethink, reevaluate, and change the situation we’re in. So, I made it my mission to finally live my own life, free from society’s “standards.”

Though I grew up in a multi-cultural environment, traveling to other countries greatly broadened my perspective. I learned that what’s considered “normal” in one country doesn’t necessarily mean the same in another. Every culture has its own unique rules, traditions, beliefs, standards, ways of living, behaving, and communicating with one another. There’s so much variety between borders.

One day, I made the decision to move to the place of my dreams—an environment I saw as the perfect source of inspiration to start my new life as an artist and create my first video game.
I never expected to meet so many beautiful, talented, and inspiring people there. I made friends and created unforgettable memories, for which I will always be grateful.

The Mission:

My goal is to recreate the nostalgic feeling of classic games, where players had to master the mechanics without being spoiled by tutorials or in-game hints, as is common in modern games. I want to see players exchange their experiences and discoveries while playing GOLDSAEBEL DNA. It would be amazing to see people supporting each other and building a community spirit, just like in the old days. For those players who won’t be sharing the same couch, feel free to use my Discord channel or social media to exchange information and engage in discussions.

Be My Companion On This Journey:

This is a solo project that I’ve been working on full-time for over a year now. I had to learn everything from scratch, and I’m still learning every day. However, with the progress I’ve made and the reactions from test players so far, I’m confident it’s going to be a fun experience.
If you like what you see and believe in this project, I’d appreciate any support you can offer.

What will you get?
My goal is to complete GOLDSAEBEL DNA. I want to invest my time and energy into developing the game so that you can enjoy it when it’s finished.
I’m not a content creator, and I can’t provide you with exclusive stuff. But what I can promise is that I will keep you updated on my progress.
I hope I can be an inspiration to you, just as the people who inspired me to pursue my dreams have been to me.

See you down the road,

MidiRiots
