Nice argument, but I have already depicted myself as the decisive female squirrel and you as the feeble male squirrel whose purpose is unclear
This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Next year I'd like to manifest:
a permanent full-time job.

I've worked on 7 games. 15 years of experience. I can photoshop jokes, code in Unreal Engine blueprints, write like a devil, design whole shooter levels... I'm literally the guy you're looking for!

brendycaldwell.com
I'm free for work again. If you need a writer or narrative designer, please check my portfolio to see if I'd fit. I've worked across many genres - from grim fantasy RTS to sci-fi action adventure to cutesy roguelike. I am basically a one-size-fits-all pair of socks, but for words.
