Hey everyone, I'm Matt.
I wrote some things you may have heard about, mostly games - which I was told are neat. I also recently picked up graphic design, which has been pretty satisfying.
If you wanna read or see any of my works, @datasparrow.bsky.social's the ticket.
Let's keep in touch!

Speaking of indie re-launches happening years later, Phantom Brigade 2.0 is out this Wednesday.
Just about the only thing that *hasn't* been overhauled is the core combat, which was great to begin with. But the story, progression, management, mission variety, difficulty curve, etc are all new.
