Billy Basso , 36 , made Animal Well entirely on his own, start to finish.
The game is up for five awards at the Game Developers Choice Awards , including prizes for Best Design, Best Audio, and Best Debut .
Basso worked on a primitive version of Animal Well in his free time, supporting himself with his day job.
After his talk, a circle of fans surrounded Basso to offer praise and ask questions.
Basso is already working on his next game, a 2D sidescroller that will share some elements of Animal Well .
Basso says he's now able to “make whatever arbitrary thing I want and not really have to worry about whether it will sell well or not.
All that matters, he says, is "I find it fun".
