Hi! I like to make games and put them on the internet. If you like that, too, I think we'll probably get along fine. Hopefully, you'll like the games that I've made.
For more "thinking" experiences, consider Chthonic Brilliance (32 puzzles), Squirrelativity (15 puzzles), and The Pigeon Post Principle (15 puzzles).
My favorite "arcade" games that I made are probably Tip of the Tongue and Block Chain. I am particularly fond of the mechanic of Tip of the Tongue. While it has rather crude graphics, and my skills have improved since, I am rather proud of its, um, fierce originality of concept?
Q&A
Are you from Australia?
Sadly, no. Against my better judgment, I chose to be born in the US. I just like the word "cassowary," and have a longstanding affinity for flightless birds. I think they are some of the coolest animals out there.
How long have you been making video games?
I started making games in 2007, when I was 10 years old, using a hand-me-down copy of Macromedia Flash MX. In 2017 I switched from using Flash to make games to using Javascript, and decided to start uploading them to websites like itch.io, as well as this website. Even though I use pixel art now instead of vectors, I feel like the fact that I started with Flash is still visible in the types of games that I like to make...
Can I use something you've made (a song, graphics, etc.) for a project of mine?
Yes, you can, for noncommercial purposes (CC BY-NC). Please credit me and link back to my website (cassowary.me) if you do this. Also, let me know about it! I'd love to see what you do with it. However, see the next answer for a caveat.
Please do not use my work for commercial purposes without my permission. (Unless the commercial purpose is background music for a youtube video with ads; that's fine, but still credit me)
Can I feed your work into a machine learning algorithm?
Absolutely not, not even if you credit me. There are no legal protections against this currently to my understanding, but if you do this, I will add you to the list of people I will haunt as a ghost after I die.
I feel like that last question is a bit of a weirdly aggressive note to go out on, so here is another paragraph to lighten the tone. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the about page. If people ask me any other questions at some point, I will put them here.
