here's some perhaps cool stuff i've taken apart in or created:
be careful when seeing my name on places not listed here -- that user probably isn't me!
the obligatory about me:
i've been making games since 5th grade. currently, i'm a freshman at university of utah studying software engineering with an emphasis in game design (tl;dr game development but i focus on programming more). my dream is to be able to pursue a career of making cool games with other people!
personally, in a team of game developers, i would like to take on the role of being the one to design & develop user interface, and improve user experience. i personally believe that UI is such a powerful but undervalued part of games. it's one of those things that, it only really receives the spotlight if it's bad. i mean, do we really see game reviewers going "look at how good their UI is!"? probably not. chances are, they're more realistically gonna talk about how good the art is, how immersive the story is, and such. but, if you have interfaces that are completely unusable, that's when it receives the "literally unplayable" treatment. so my goal -- i want to help development teams make UI that both work and is aesthetically pleasing. i envision a world where interfaces are as self-explanatory, and easy to navigate as possible. and players of games should be focusing on having fun, and not trying to work their way around clunky menus.

[INTJ - A] if u want a general gauge of what i'm like lol (here are my full results)
also if you're wondering why my username sounds like some cringe ahh 2016 gaming youtuber name, it's because i made it up when i was like 2 nanoseconds old and now i'm too lazy to change it
btw small disclaimer: people came from all kinds of backgrounds and were raised differently in various environments. it's not unlikely that i'll act in a way you don't like and do things you might not approve of. while i'll try my best to accommodate your opinions of conduct, i will not re-draw my lines. at the end of the day, i have an unique personality that is based on both the positive and negative parts of me. and on top of that, i have my own code of conduct that i believe is balanced between looking out for others, and allowing myself to... well, be the person i want to be. that said, as long as you aren't easily offended, i probably won't be unpleasant to interact with! (i mean, tbf, if you try to accomidate everyone's opinion of conduct, you'll quickly realize you'd turn into a robot. at least... i don't really want that for myself. being human inherently means everything i do will be frowned upon by at least 1 person.)
