About Me

I'm Roglozor! :)

I'm a hobbyist game developer and pixel artist also dabbling in music, mostly chiptune/fakebit but I do own a piano (still learning!). I'm also somewhat interested in writing. I basically like anything creative! I'm in my 20s and from the UK.

While I may post works like my games online for anyone to see or play with, do know that I don't do any of this professionally. I mostly just want to make simple party games for me and my friends and will tend to use their OCs a lot. Everything I create is either for my own amusement, or for my circle of friends. I'd also like to tell some stories through this medium one day, but baby steps first!

I also enjoy managing random servers, be it static websites like this one, or hosting game servers for me and my buddies to play, like Minecraft, Ring Racers, SCP:SL and others. I just like tinkering with Linux systems in general.

It's worth mentioning that I suck at all of these things, I just do it for fun! :P

You can find a list of the software I typically use and recommend here. I greatly prefer to use open source tools but may sometimes fall back to proprietary software here and there.

Games That Are Very Important To Me

As you can imagine, I play a lot of games! These are just some of the most important/influential to me, in no particular order. I could easily write ridiculously long essays on every single one.

What's with the name?

The name Roglozor doesn't actually mean anything at all, I'd argue it means the exact opposite of meaning something! Either that or it just means me, as in, the self that is writing this.

I actually managed to arrive at this name with the use of random name generators online. The name was made in July 2017. I simply needed a name that was unique and pretty much guaranteed no one else would be using it by the time I tried using it.

The internet isn't getting any younger, and as the vast majority of users congregate on the same few centralized platforms, it's gradually getting harder and harder to secure a name for oneself that hasn't been taken already. This stupid name was a result of me just wanting something of my own on here.

Is... That it...?

Yeah, pretty much!

OK, but truthfully I'm into WAY more things than I've listed here, but I'm the type who prefers to keep my online and private lives separate. Please don't pester me for more!

So that's all you get from me. Sometimes some pixel art, sometimes games (eventually), and hopefully music and literature too! Just whatever I decide to create and share with the world! Do remember what I mentioned above though, I'm no pro, and I only do this for me and my pals. I just like throwing things out there just in case there's like 2 or 3 weirdos who like the same stuff as me.
