Hello! I'm Dern
I've been playing games since my childhood, and it became something that I dedicated to putting all my life digging into it, from designing to developing, and even audio. I've always been thinking about how to make games good or bad, and engage myself in making them even better and avoid the elements that will potentially make a game worse.
I'm a dedicated Game designer/developer. I am always willing to improve myself with better coding skills and a sense of designing games. I can create games with my years of extensive experience in software development, game design, music/SFX composition.
