Jordan Lindgren, better known by his online persona, JordiBoi, is an 18-year-old game developer from Skellefteå who is rapidly gaining recognition in the gaming world with his indie game titles.
His games – Ignited Entry, The Final Pin, Broken Through, and The Shopping List, have become hits among gaming communities, drawing the attention of major YouTubers such as Markiplier, Hollow, Kubz Scouts, and Jacksepticeye. These influencers have not only played JordiBoi's games, reaching millions of viewers, but also contributed to his rising reputation in the gaming scene.
