Hi ho, I'm John. I'm a game developer from way back in the heyday. I wrote some games that sold well. I edited some books that sold poorly. I wrote a couple-hundred book reviews for Gamedev.net. And I taught game development to kids for a couple of years.
Nowadays I'm living in middle-of-nowhere Texas with my wife. I still do some development stuff, but it's pretty casual.
I have a far more stupid "fun" mastodon account at dobbs.town. Follow me there for non-technical stuff.

Just playing around, seeing if I can wire up all this stuff in HaxeFlixel. Here I'm rendering an LDtk "world" along with some HaxeUI components and a game sprite that I animated in Spine quite some time ago.
Everybody's working and animating nicely on the native and HTML5 target. The native version isn't getting events from the gamepad, but I suspect there's some MacOS witchery that's gotta be done. HTML5 has its own gamepad API's, and that's working fine.
After I de-listed the couple of remaining Android games I had on Google, I started receiving these emails.
So, what's the scam? Is it that it's easier to sell scammy apps if your developer account wasn't created very recently?
Oooh, one game company wrote a pack of FIFTY games. That's quite an accomplishment!
Was musing about a game character who is a warrior gnome. Although I’m thinking of making it a gnome vampire because “Gnosferatu” is a great name.
What’s a good name for an adventurer-warrior that starts with N? So I could do something stupidly alliterative like “Gnosferatu the Gnightmare Gnome”.
“Gned the Gnecromancer”
“Gnorbert the Gnosey”
“Gnestor the Gnotable”
Maybe I should just assign you a gnome-name when you start.
