Hi! Some might call me the mysterious entity known online as snoruntpyro. I'm a self-taught game designer that's been active on the Internet and spearheading amateur game design projects for almost fifteen years. I have a strong passion for the bizarre and janky, but ultimately earnest - and I also love being flashy and bombastic. My longest-running project is "Make a Good Mega Man Level", a series of Mega Man fangames focused on challenging people to submit their own levels and be evaluated by a panel of judges, all towards bringing them together in a final collaboration game that celebrates what everyone has accomplished. I also have a particular enjoyment for game modification - I greatly enjoy taking bases of what already exists and pushing them to their limits.
My primary areas of speciality are level design, programming, and writing. Most of my experience is in GameMaker and GML since its 8.0 release. Additionally, I've worked in Lua, C++, JavaScript, and low level programming such as ASM. I also have a wealth of experience in project management - many of my amateur projects I've spearheaded large teams for, so I have field knowledge of how much of a gut buster it can be. Said management has also given me a great amount of tolerance for busywork, data entry, and bug fixing, that's for certain! I also have a passion for creative writing, and I gravitate toward projects having complex, rich stories that explore themes of hurt and purpose.
I'm currently looking for professional work, so if you're interested, feel free to check out my projects and contact me via email or on Discord! You can also find me on BlueSky.
