Hindbodes 🐜 @Hindbodes

I don't use Gamejolt anymore, and much of the info in this box here is OBSOLETE.

I am Hindbodes, the multi-medium jack of ants. You'll see what I mean by this if you open The Hindbodes Index (on Tumblr currently, and for the foreseeable future) and the reality of the hyperlinks sinks in.

With Game Jolt, I do my favourite kind of creative work - developing videogames. It's not my most substantial output for a medium so far, but it's the most personally meaningful and is going to expand a lot.

There was a years-long struggle with figuring out how to code until 2018, when it all fell into place. I started with nearly finishing a game called Bunny Horrors into a buggy, highly-unstable state in the time span of 72 hours, and then really got started after I left Bunny Horrors behind and finished Startup Tophat. I released one other game and a repaired Bunny Horrors shortly after. Startup Tophat is my first released game, but so far it's the best one and my favourite in the list. My coding skill is not expert, but it's been rapidly improving since Startup Tophat's development.

Games likely to come out next:
Right now, there are three unfinished projects that show promise. "Bridge of Fate", "Anarchist Ant", and a title that is censored Game Jolt-side to be called "Rot". Bridge of Fate is a small game that grew somewhat large and is based around a single, greatly-long level of platforming with a rigid beginning and an end, but also is going to have randomly-selected terrain at two parts of the level. Of the three, this is what I spent the most time on. Anarchist Ant and Rot are what I work on during the breaks from Bridge of Fate which happen every day after a 7 day streak of coding on it. Anarchist Ant is a tile-based score-oriented randomly-generated challenge, and Rot is an endless time waster making use of the Box2D library in a much looser way than Bridge of Fate is.

I often screw up projections as to what games come out next by saying something will happen that never does, but right now I'm pretty sure one of these three will arrive on Game Jolt as my Game #7 next.
