Hii, I'm Ashlyn

Hello lovely entities. I’m Ashlyn, I wear silly outfits and break production. My pronouns are they/she and I’m a non binary transfem.

My first contact with game development was when I found RPG Maker 2000 on a CD Rom from a computer games magazine. Wow did that change the trajectory of my life. I learned programming in RPG maker before it had ruby using their UI, then went into the “game engine development” skill tree and picked up C++. That lasted until I discovered flash, XNA and later HTML5/WebGL. It was just easier sharing silly projects with those things. I also got my first programming job in the games industry because I uploaded on newgrounds… so yeah, I didn’t go to uni or anything, just learned it all online. And now I’m somehow a co founder of a studio.

I do love rust, know a bit too much about the vulkan spec, and enjoy making stuff that feels great.

Enjoy some clips from our current game.

Thank you so much for reading~

Also I do like hexagons, beep boop

you can find me in exodrifter’s discord, or on Ashlyn but gay (@ashlynbutgay@tech.lgbt) - LGBTQIA+ and Tech

Hey Ashlyn! Welcome to the server :sparkles:

I went to university but I didn’t really pay attention in any of my classes (and I was always ahead of the class), so I also feel self-taught. It’s interesting to hear how you got your start!

What is the game you’re working on called? It reminds me a bit of Banished. Feel free to share more updates about your game in Show Off in the future! :heart:

Current Title is “Path of Ages”, but with our move away from Unity we’re also reworking the IP a bit, so I guess its the current working title, not the release title ^^

teach us your secrets Ashlyn

Sure! The forbidden knowledge of ancient RPG Maker forums will slowly consume your mind, but sure! :smiley:
