welcome eddie!!
greets, folks. my name is natasha, or charlene, or lyn-marie. i'm a game developer, experimental musician, professional pixel artist, and renaissance woman-in-training. i've been working in the industry since 2008 and have been involved with a variety of art jobs (most recently as one of the animators for The Last Faith), ranging from the small odd job all the way to with studios like WayForward, games like Duelyst, Telepath Tactics, and others. i've been studying the pixel since i was 14, and i have a deep passion and love for hardcore action games of the 2D and 3D variety, which i'm sure you'll all come to understand sooner or later.
as a game developer, i've dabbled with a few projects, but my current primary focuses are on Joylancer, a 2D action platformer that i've been developing off and on since 2014 (long story), and Bullet Sorceress, a 2D on-foot character-focused vertical shoot-em-up that i've been developing since 2020 with my teammate and long time friend chloe (SuperBlizzard on Twitter / owch on itch.io). i'm looking forward to being able to talk about these games more as they get closer to completion.
on the music front, i've dabbled in a variety of projects, such as TRON MAXIMUM (electronic/cybergrind/doom), solarinception (ambient/doom/industrial), Bog Sirens (improvised blackened free jazz extreme metal), and my current main project, Noctoran (solo black metal).
like many other 30 or 40 year olds here (many of you who i recognize from twitter/cohost!), i am a Forum Enjoyer, and so i couldn't help myself when i saw that there was a forum to post on. as the years have gone on, i've become more and more anti-social media and have largely withdrawn from "Big Posts", but everyone needs an avenue to empty the thoughts on their head sometimes, and i figure what better space than one like this? looking forward to chatting. :)

Hey!
I'm Matthias. I've been programming on the X games (the nerd ones, not the jock ones) for Egosoft1 since 2007. My first real job out of uni, if you can believe it, and I don't expect a change in the foreseeable future!
1 Fun fact: Egosoft is the oldest independent German game developer that's still active! If you include all studios then we're tied2 with Blue Byte
2 Well, more or less, depends on how you count

Hi! I'm Idolon, aka deertwoheads. I'm an architect full-time and a game developer / musician on the side, currently living in Des Moines. I made a bunch of maps for Team Fortress 2. Valve even licensed one of them! Currently I am making a puzzle game titled UDLR, which is a follow up to a game I made for a jam.
I have experience in Unity but mostly work in Godot these days.
Here's a screenshot of my project Crown Shyness, which is currently on hold:
You can find me elsewhere but I'm not allowed to include more links because I'm a new user.

Level designer, professional Discord lurker (retiring to start my role as active discord user)
Source engine and creation engine are my go to for projects when my day job doesn't demand the horrors of unreal engine, if it's jank as hell, I'm almost certainly a fan of it.
Good to meet ya'll :)

Hi Everybody,
I'm Sahil, and I think this is the first forum I've ever been on?
I'm a Narrative Designer and Writer from Dubai/India and I've previously worked with studios like Sweet Baby Inc. and Veritable Joy on games like ValiDate: Struggling Singles in Your Area. I've also been a copywriter and a journalist for Fanbyte(although it was for covering Destiny 2 so Idk how much that counts lol). At the moment, I'm working on personal projects and working as a Designer/Writer on Private Eye: The Young Heir at Lucky7 Studios.

Hi my name is Christian, by day I work as a tech artist in games and at night I make tons and tons of stuff but never actually finish anything. This week I'm thinking hard about a multiplayer-dungeon crawler again bc I played D&D with some new friends, but next week who knows?
