About

🔥 Graphic Designer • ✨ Game Dev • 🐝 Wishlist Dewdrop Dynasty Hey there! My name is Mark, but most people know me on the internet as Goodgis. I’m a full-time Graphic Designer who makes video games and shares my adventures on Youtube. I specialize in making cute, colorful games and am currently working on a Metroidvania called Dewdrop Dynasty. I also run my own little game studio called Firith Studio. It's been my dream, ever since I was a kid, to hire my friends and make Firith Studio a full-time job. And it's crazy to think that every day I get a little bit closer to that goal. I’m probably most known for games such as The Keeyp, Wizbirds Online, Blizzard Blowout 64, and of course Dewdrop Dynasty. Wishlist on Steam!
