Hi there!
 
I'm Jasper and I make some games and some music.  I constantly search for old games that I don't end up playing, in the hope that I'll find the one that I do play, with the gut feeling that it must be out there somewhere, and has probably been there for a while if so.
 
Sometimes wish I could still actually play them, other times I'm happy just trying to make them.
 
I did give a lot of my life to Demon's Souls / DS over the last couple of years, so it's not that I'm incapable of it, it's just that I so rarely find the element that gets me to push on?
 
I'm making one at the moment, about a year in, but will probably take at least the same time again.  So I may not have anything to post for a while, although I could dig out some older things, I guess, if anyone was interested? 
 
Anyway, thanks for having me, and thanks for all the good reading over the last few years (have lurked quite a while, now I think about it!)

Hey dude! Your games look pretty awesome! I'll have to check them out sometime. I see they are on Steam. You made them on your own? That is what I'm attempting to do. I can't imagine it was easy. What did you use to make Lone Survivor? I'm using Construct 2 for my game.

Wah! Thankyou for the super warm welcome everyone! <3 <3

I really will try to post here when I can, it's quite an amazing collection of minds you guys have!  And it's surprising just how often a random game catches my attention on the web, and it turns out was actually originated over here in some form...

So yeah, thanks again for having me, you guys are wicked!

Wow. I loved Lone Survivor, up until I totally ran out of ammo and died and had no idea how to play the game and gave up. But it was very atmospheric!

Thanks once again for the warm welcome! I will try to keep posting as I do generally like forums more than chat clients / social networking / twitter / telephones / instant messages / text messages / emails as a way of keeping up with people who aren't in the same room... But there's a wealth of interesting stuff to be found here anyway so I'm sure that'll keep me coming back!

@Jester my suggestion is to take the BLUE PILL
