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
