About Us

Who We Are

Distracted Coder is a solo independent game studio based just outside of Chicago.

I'm Alex Wagner and I'm the founder and developer behind the studio. I handle the game design, programming, and creative direction for every project.

How it Started

I have been coding and making games since I was in 6th grade. It's been 15 years now!

I released my first iOS game at 19, which went on to surpass a few thousand downloads. After releasing 2 more apps and spending five years creating content on YouTube, I set my sights on something bigger: a Steam game, and maybe someday consoles.
