Game: Galactic Foodtruck Simulator 2999
Trade: ZZTer
The world’s most prolific designer of games for ZZT, a fully-featured, if contextually spare, game creation platform made free for public use in 1991 and fully open-sourced in 2020. I’m always developing new games and tools for the platform, and encourage you to stop by ZZT’s official Discord if you’re at all interested in MS-DOS esoterica. <3

Game: Spider-880
Trade: Computational Mathematician
I do a lot of interdisciplinary work. In games, that’s mostly solving problems that would take longer solve with a quick and dirty math shortcut. Can’t get a sprite to point to a mouse? That’s my specialty.

Game: Extended Sabbatical
Trade: Game design
Hello! I played a bunch of fun, artsy games on itch when I was a teen and that made me want to go into game design. Working in game dev has its ups and downs, but I still get my fun from making tiny games on the side!

Game: Nonverbal Communication
Trade: Writing, Design, Art, Compassion
I usually make tabletop games and interactive fiction, but am generally in love with all forms of art. My biggest goal in life is to help make the world a better place, in little and big ways, for all people and creatures. I’m always delighted to connect and exchange with fellow developers or players!
