Hi everyone! Glad to see you here! I am also here, but you may have noticed I don't post often. I have not forgotten about sakevisual. I'm just that busy at my day job. BUT! I'm always looking for new artists, so no matter how long you've been here, please say hi so I can get to know you!

OKAY, for no reason whatsoever, do we have any puzzle designers in the house? Simple 5-10 minute challenges in the style of a certain gentleman professor with a tall hat. If you can design but not program, I can do the programming, but if you can program, that's a bonus.
