Hai, my name is Fern. I’ve made games for most of my life, actually since I was about 11! I’m now super old and still making games, but now I know what I’m doing. I have been contracted for a few console ports of games and am currently on a fairly large indie game as one of their 3 developers (top secret NDA project that I can’t tell you about though ☹). Besides the boring stuff that I worked on to pay my bills, I also have released a handful of games onto Steam/Xbox/Switch! Sometimes that pays the bills and other times it doesn’t. Nowadays I care a lot more about making games that mean something special to me insetad of chasing that money. Oh and I love making music \<.\< ---

Yeah!!! I’m all for meaningful games. I enjoyed listening to you talk about your game [_Bring Me Hope_](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1493290/Bring_Me_Hope/) on stream yesterday. I love stuff like that ❤ Looking forward to you sharing your stuff in #Show Off ✨ ---

Hoiii! Just looked at your portfolio and Don’t Sink looks awesome! Pirate games are so few and far between, guess I know what I’ll be doing this evening. ---

It’s honestly not very good and the writing very much reflects the state of mind I was in (dumb and inebriated) but I hope you get a kick out of it. haha ---
