Description

I've been drawing/painting for pretty much forever. Learned game development because games are the closest I can get to painting a new reality. Then started making a game about blowing up robots in a fighter jet that shoots rainbow lasers because apparently I'm still twelve.

History

Old Stuff

Started with ZZT's level editor in middle school, eventually graduated to Game Maker 4 and got involved fangame projects that never went anywhere. Went to college and got a CS degree, accidentally ended up working for The Man writing financial software instead of doing gamedev professionally.

AEROBAT

Created the initial prototype for Aerobat in April 2013 for Ludum Dare 26. Decided the core mechanic was fun enough to build a proper game around, and I've been working on it ever since. Turns out gamedev takes forever when you can only work evenings and weekends.
