Games by Alex Wilcox
I'm Alex (he/they) and I write games. I come from performance and visual art so I'm interested in crossing these wherever possible, but also I was raised on your classic sci-fi and fantasy games while playing too many video games, so I have influences everywhere.  If you like my work please leave a rating, comment, or get in touch. I'd love to collab with people, but I do work full time elsewhere so don't have as much time for writing games as I would like. I'm happy to edit, work on ideas, and help with design.  All of my games are now located over at Six Planes (https://six-planes.itch.io/) and older ones are linked here. I've kept my 2 page games here as they're a bit of fun.
