I'm John Thyer! I've been making games and sharing them online for free since 2013: farawaytimes.itch.io

I wrote "How To Make Good Small Games" in 2023: farawaytimes.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-...

I organized the chain game anthology Gardens of Vextro in 2022: vextro.itch.io/gardens-of-v...

If you're a creator who:

- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent

give up you are worthless

torcado.com/cleanEdge

I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)
