longestpath

Hello! 👋🏻

Welcome to my Itch profile! I am longestpath and am a newbie indie developer, oldie SaaS software developer. My personal gaming interests are in adventure games, text-based or scene-based, and MMORPGs that encourage storytelling and emphasize the "R" in RPG.

"The Weaponsmith" (PirateSoftware Game Jam 16) is my first attempt at a game since a Z80 assembly version of LCR crashed my TI calculator in high school (many years ago, let's just say that). Even though the initial submission was not feature complete, I learned a lot, built some basic systems for the format, and am very proud of the result.

Current goals are to study more of the idle/adventure games genre and hopefully come up with some cozy little games to relax to! Thank you for being here!

Why longestpath?

Life is too short to rush through it. As an ethos, I try to appreciate the details of things around me, from trees and birds to source code and electrical signals. Getting into the weeds and taking the time to understand, for me, enriches the experience, prepares me for the unexpected, and gets me closer to the things that I love.
