An Old Dog Dev Going Solo Indie!
Born in the ’80s, I’m a senior C++ developer and a 3D Generalist with a passion for video games—a hardcore Metal Gear fan since the ’90s. With a master’s degree in Computer Science, I work full-time and spend my nights developing indie games in Unreal Engine, aiming to release them on Steam, Epic Games Store, and more.
What is Tobosoksini?
Tobosoksini, or Tobosoksini Games, is my personal brand and gateway to the world. It’s a one-man indie game development studio, no more than a room in my cozy house located in the heart of Amman, Jordan. The name ‘Tobosoksini’ is a nickname for my daughter, Nadia, given by my wife. Nadia is three years old and already an inspiration.

If everyone is good at something, I’m good at creating video games! Unfortunately, the thing does not go like that; game development is one of the most complex fields, requiring a diverse set of skills and talents. As a solo developer, I have honed the following vital skills in my arsenal.

Milestones in My Life
My childhood was rich with gaming experiences, from Family Game and Panasonic 3DO to PS1. I always wondered how games were made on these platforms, a curiosity that set me on the path to becoming an indie game developer. This dream gets a little closer every day.
After years of wandering without a clear purpose, a life-changing video inspired me to learn Unreal Engine daily. Here are some milestones in my journey:
Played Metal Gear Solid on PS1 for the first time and became a lifelong fan of the franchise.
Inspired by an online video, I committed to daily learning, even while working a full-time job.
Founded Tobosoksini Games, created a website, and launched social media channels.
