Who am I?
I'm a 21-year-old guy originally from Hungary but having lived in England for almost all of my life. As a person I'm quite quiet, what with having Selective Mutism and all, but I can get talkative in text or once I get comfortable. I've always had a connection to computers - I could type my name before I could handwrite it - and that's persisted into my adult life, where I plan to become a game designer.
I'm fascinated by the artistic interaction that games allow as a medium, being a Sonic player since childhood and otherwise enjoying titles like Terraria, Stardew Valley, old Mega Drive games and inspired by early-2000s titles like Jet Set Radio and Skies of Arcadia. I enjoy the lore and stories that can be told with even one component of a game, like through the music in Guilty Gear and Napple Tale, and I consume a wide variety of VNs hoping to one day make many of my own. In what I make, I'd like to strike a balance between overbearing simplicity and an acute attention to detail where it really matters.
