Making games and tools in off hours. Inspired by the #indiedev and #gamedev communities, and #Nintendo, the #NES and #SNES in particular. Learning I was wrong about something every day.

One thing I love about low spec, low res, pixel art games…

With our modern tools, one or two people can make what would have been a state of the art, boundary-pushing game on platforms from 35 years ago.

And there is so much opportunity there, largely unexplored, as we abandoned platforms for whatever was coming next.
