Hiya! My name is Ryan from ‘straya 🇦🇺! I’m a game designer and programmer. My portfolio is in my bio.
I’m still trying to find my place in this industry, so I hope in the meantime we can connect and chat :)!
At the very least I can show you pictures of my dog 🐶

I have been fiddling with my stealth game and gave it to some players.
I was worried it would be too simple or not engaging enough, but players are spending hours trying to get the best times on each level!
I've been tightening the "dev times" as a result. I feel like I made something special :)

A play tester said my stealth game gets impossibly hard and it took them an hour to beat the game.
This actually makes me so happy :)

Very sad hearing the news about Rebecca Heineman :( She will be very missed, but she's in a better place now.

When your game was just gonna be a 3 month project, but you keep going "oh that would be cool" and now it's a 1 year project 🫠

I really wish job postings would just say in clear English that they will not sponsor you on the page itself.
I know this industry hates juniors, but please stop having me rewrite my resume just to tell me I’m ineligible due to my location mid application.

I think services such as Discord or messenger should have a feature that is basically like “no you go first“ when you’re both typing at the same time.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Sleeping in my hotel room and honestly feel so emotional at the moment. I know the scholarship has barely started, but after feeling rejected so much from the games industry, meeting European friends via the scholarship who treat me like one of their own and as a true friend is….an amazing feeling.
