hello! welcome to my tiny pastel corner of the web. As you can probably tell, I really miss the early internet days of Geocities, MySpace, Neopets etc etc. I have tried to create that here, in my own small dedicated space. 🌙🍵

I have recently taken up the hobby of game development. I am a developer for most of the day so this hasn't been a gigantic leap but still there has been a learning curve. I am trying to follow the advice shared over and over again in the game dev world that you should start by making small games, you should not, as I initially tried, to start with your Magnum Opus as you will get overwhelmed and burn out. Since doing this I've been having a lot of fun and it has also been very rewarding. Please see below and also my Itch page to view my games.

My pet doggy

I did it! I finally made my first game in Godot, it's a very simple ambient doggy that wanders around, sits down, sleeps and entertains itself.

The doggy will just happily live on your page, you can click on them for love, and their food and water can run out, you can click it to top it up, but no harm will ever come to them.

If you'd like your own doggy then click the cog in the top right, go back to the menu and select your own dog and room of choice. Then come back to the cog and embed them using the code onto your own page.

I hope it brings you joy!

About me

When I was about 12 I was exposed to the wonderful world of The Sims, I remember being sad at the lack of fashion in the game so I went looking around for the in-game clothing, I found a random folder in C:/Program Files where the clothes were stored as image files, I opened Photoshop and I altered them, with like hearts and stars and general pink-ness. I put them back in the folder and I booted up the game wondering if this would work - and it worked! My crazy creations were IN THE ACTUAL GAME. I found this incredible and absurd and started to try to make clothes that were even more elaborate. I then decided that the world needed my fashion. So I built a webite called Gina Fashion where I hosted my creations as downloadable files where people could download them and put them into their own game. Of course nobody did, I was 12 and there was no SEO and no way of finding my site. But still, my love of cosy games, fashion, web development and general hackery was born.

I work full time as a software engineer, and the rest of my time is spent petting my dog, and building games.
