TheSchlote’s Blog
I’m TheSchlote – husband, father, Catholic, and a full-time .NET developer. Between work, family, and everything else, I’m carving out time to chase two projects that matter a lot to me: a solo game I’ve been building in my head for years, and a software business I’m launching with a close friend.
Keeping this blog helps me stay consistent, even if the steps are small. The plan is to make something meaningful over time—one week at a time.
The Two Projects
- Corrupted Virtues – My solo game dev project. A turn-based tactics RPG I’ve been working on for a long time.
- Moral Support Studios – The software company I’m building with my friend, Nubchulubs12, where we’re developing web-based apps for small businesses.
The goal is to make steady progress every week, whether it’s a breakthrough or just moving one thing forward.
What I’m Logging Here
- Corrupted Virtues Dev Logs – Notes on development, mechanics, and worldbuilding.
- Game Jams – Lessons from participating in jams.
- Moral Support Studios Updates – Business and software development progress.
- Resources – Anything useful worth remembering.
- Weekly Progress – One post a week, depending on what I got done. If there’s nothing to write about, that’s a sign I need to get back to work.
What is Moral Support Studios?
Moral Support Studios is the business my friend and I are building to create useful software for small businesses. Our long-term goal is to develop the Moral Support Suite, an ERP-style system where small businesses can mix and match the tools they need to run their operations.
The suite will eventually include:
- Task Management
- Expense Tracking
- Finance Management
- Customer Management
- Other core business functions
Everything will be fully web-based, with no installs or outdated software. Just tools that work and scale with the user.
We’re starting with a task management app as an intro project. Eventually, we also want to take on small development projects for other businesses who need custom software.
For me, this is about building something real with the skills I already have, leveling up as a developer, and helping others do the same.
