I joined @ustwogames.co.uk 9 years ago!

I'm so proud of the work I've been able to do during my career so far with them, and so happy I get to make games with the best bunch of people.

Working hard on Wild Cosmos, and getting closer to the end.

I want this small world to feel alive and vibrant.

I'm a single person behind this project and if that's the kind of games you like, sharing it and wishlisting helps me greatly.

Just popped a new game prototype demo I'm working on called Bug Chain on itch!

ianzell.itch.io/bug-chain

Its a sandboxy management simulation sort of game where you direct little bugs to build their houses and try and balance a food chain/ecosystem.

hope some people find it interesting!

If you have never made a puzzle but really want to give it a try, I wholeheartedly recommend the LOK puzzle system. It has spatial and temporal elements that really get the brain meat working!
