I make games and teach about that, too
I am passionate about accessible, inclusive, creative game development and use itch.io as a platform for this creativity. You can see some of the projects I have worked on below.
I'm also one half of cloud sprite studios with the amazing @cosmicnimbus! Together, we are working on The Forests of Faera. Come and chat with us in our official ☁️ cloud sprite studios ☁️ Discord server any time! 😊
I'm often active on X (previously Twitter), but also now on Mastodon and Bluesky, too. Come and say hi!
Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy your stay! 💖
Spotlight
I'm currently writing The Forests of Faera, a lighthearted, story-rich tabletop roleplaying game in which you travel through mystical forests, helping out fae creatures and discovering the lore of your companions and the world as you go. The ashcan demo is out now, and the full version (with additional faekind, callings, creatures, systems, and more) is coming soon!
