About Me

Basic Summary

I'm Roglozor! Just a random British guy in his twenties. I consider myself a hobbyist game developer, despite currently having no games. Just like some consoles! Similar story with art, music, and general I.T. stuff. I'm quietly working on projects and skills behind the scenes right now and I'm just recently starting to drip feed things I've made online.

My main project at this time is a PvP platformer called Jabbit, featuring my mascot OC with the same name. I will have LOTS of details to share about this project very soon! I'm planning to have a development version out this year, and if all goes well, version 1.0 as well.

Art

When it comes to art, I'm primarily interested in retro style visuals in both 2D and 3D. I love limited resolutions, palettes, and polys. I'm also BAD at art so that's probably why. The vast majority of my time attempting art is spent in 2D right now, but I can assure you I already plan to make a 3D game once I'm fully satisfied with Jabbit.

Regarding 3D, my favourite styles would probably be games running on id Tech 1 & 2 (DOOM, Quake), PS1 (Klonoa: Door to Phantomile), NDS (Pokemon Gen 4/5, Super Mario 64 DS), as well as Minecraft and Hytale.

Music

I will not lie. I'm not great at programming. I'm BAD at art. I'm worse at music. Regardless, it is an art I love dearly, and truthfully, more than any other. If gameplay is King in game development, then music is Queen. You MUST have good music to really stick the landing in my opinion.

Right now, I am focused on privately practicing two things; piano (because I own one), and "fakebit" music. I call it fakebit because, while I deeply love and respect authentic chiptune, I personally prefer to mix retro sounds with just a little bit of modernity. Many of my favourite OSTs do the same to outstanding effect and they have left a permanent impact crater in my SOUL. As my music will not be true chiptune, I refuse to use the name.

Obviously I just love music in general but I gotta start somewhere. This is just what calls to me first. It will likely be a very long time before I am comfortable enough to share anything I have produced, but I can't wait to push myself further in this endeavour.

Writing

I wouldn't really call myself a writer by any means to be honest. Not now anyway. I used to be a real bookworm when I was younger but it died down later on. I've only recently started properly picking up reading again, so one can imagine my ability to write well isn't spectacular either. If you don't use it you'll lose it after all. Regardless, it is yet another interest of mine, but I can assure you I won't be focusing very much on it within the public eye, at least not any time soon.

However, I have and always will love analyzing all that interests me. Perhaps I could make a start on writing essays right here on my own website? Plus, Jabbit just might have a little something other than the multiplayer... :)

Wrapping Up

I want to keep this page strictly about what I aim to publish online sooner or later. Not about literally everything I do or things I love. If only I had another place to put such rambles...
