Hi, I am a South African game designer and programmer. I have a strong DIY ethos and enjoy working on all aspects of game creation and building my own solutions. Working professionally as a game developer, I spend alot of my spare time trying to improve as a designer and better understand the craft

This website is made by me from scratch as a showcase of the projects I am working, and a place to store some of my thoughts. It is also more specifically a place to document the work I have put into my long term side project called "Menhir"

Less of a game and more of a long term self-educational experience, my hope someday is to figure out how to build minimalist RPGs that can capture the essence of much bigger and more complicated games while still allowing small or solo development. Menhir is my first step on that path and the many differnt versions show how interests and knownledge have grown and shifted over the many years i've been tweaking it
