Cody Penn

Welcome! I'm a solo game developer based in Michigan making stuff that speaks to me.

I've an affinity and fondness for the games that occupied my childhood; Apple II computer games, The PC-Engine, arcade machines, and the PS1.

I have an unresolved and growing hatred for the direction much of the modern industry is taking. Microtransactions make me want to claw my eyes out. Drivel and shovelware keep me up at night. Media cast only in incorporeal forms haunt me. Impersonal asset flips make me want to jump off the bridge. I'm concerned one day we'll forget games are made by people, instead of pipelines. I'm a stubborn enough to become my own answer.

I value the personal, the obscure, the weird, the unorthodox, and the esoteric. If something doesn't exist that I want to play, then I'll shoulder the millstone and make it myself.

I appreciate you coming here. Take a seat, stay a while. We've a lot to catch up on.
