My main goal is to make a mark I guess. It's hard as a single
developer to build up a successful and thriving software project on
your own. Especially if you also want to make a living with it.

A few years back, the 5 year old daughter of a relative was diagnosed
with bone cancer. It seems she has made it through with some but
limited problems and will survive to grow up. At the time I wanted to
help in any way I could. After reading about games having a positive
impact on the adherance to a medical treatment I set out on a quest to
create one for her. The end result was Super Sofie
(http://supersofie.org)

While the relative impact was fairly small, the personal fulfilment I
got by doing the project was much larger than with most of my other
projects.

I'm hoping to find ways to repeat this and in the process help more people.
