Hello, world.

I am Nat 20, a developer out of the Bay area of California. I have had this site set up for a hot minute now, but life got life-ing. I just graduated from my job training program I've been involved in since early February last night and figured I should get into actually making more active posts.

I am a systems designer at heart, but a game designer by soul. I like making the math of systems work out, but there's something enjoyable about the massive task of learning a little about a lot, and implementing that knowledge. So far, I've taught myself:

  • Python
  • JavaScript
  • HTML/CSS
  • 3D Modelling
  • Pixel art
  • Color theory
  • Cinematic theory
  • Google Sheets
  • RPG System Design mechanics, including
    - Loot
    - Modular Vehicles
    - Weapons & Armor
    - Minigames
    - and way, way more
  • Storywriting and character development
  • Geography
  • Mapbuilding
  • Level design
  • Dabbled in music

I also would be nothing without the people who believe in what I'm doing. I work with my tabletop group, who volunteer their time and energy into the games I work on. The real dream is to get a company up and running, so I can pay these beautiful people for the hard work they put in. I'll likely make shoutout posts in the future to give them some time in the spotlight here (for those of the group that want that).

I will be posting from time to time, to discuss my games, projects, and even sometimes just my thoughts. I look forward to the adventures ahead, dreamers.
