In April 2025, James O'Halloran launched a daily puzzle game called Kinda Hard Golf. In the early days he hand-placed every tile by hand, every single day, no auto-tiling until day 100. A year and 400+ daily levels later, with players around the world hooked and streamers like Northernlion picking it up, he sold it to a team of daily-game veterans.

In this talk, the Mighty Pebble Games founder walks through the whole arc: building a game solo, growing it into a real daily habit, turning a scrappy pipeline into something polished enough to hand off, and knowing when it's time to sell. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build something on your own and then let it go, this is a rare look from someone who just did it.
