My misadventures in game design and making. Who am I? Programmer, Christian. Recovered lawyer. Musician. Games Scholar. Programmer. Nerd. Terrible, but enthusiastic Golfer. I make train games, and roguelikes. My train games are mostly print and play board games. I've recently loved Chicago Express and 18xx games, and that's influenced a bunch of my game design. My roguelikes feature exploring particular ideas - often for the 7drl game jam. For a video game soundtrack - drop me a line! I would desperately love to write an Ennio Morricone style soundtrack for a Sergeo Leone inspired western game.
