Game design and visual design and narrative design and sound design and design design and designing that design and other random notes

I’m spindlebink, an independent designer, programmer, musician, and artist currently located in the central United States.

I love making weird, surreal games inspired by weird, surreal art. The stuff I’ve published (mostly jam-adjacent) can be found on my itch.io page.

I’ve taken most of my public code off my GitHub, but you can find a little at Codeberg or sourcehut.

Welcome to my game design blog notes website thing.
