Hi everyone, and welcome to superflat world. This is primarily a game development blog for superflat games<\/a>, although I’ll also be posting about other cool and interesting things in the world of games, music and life in general.<\/p>\n

My name’s Jasper Byrne and I’m currently the sole member of the team, so art, code, music and design roles fall on me. \u00a0This is what I look like in pixel form:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– I like fried food, especially fish.<\/p>\n

– I like making stuff and languages (real and computer.)<\/p>\n

– I lived in Manchester for about 8 years.<\/p>\n

– I’m half Irish and half English.<\/p>\n

– It was probably Jet Set Willy and Lords of Midnight that got me into games.<\/p>\n

– I’ve lived in Vietnam, Japan, America, and England. I was born in London.<\/p>\n

– For the last ten years I’ve been a drum’n’bass producer \/ DJ under the aliases Sonic,<\/em><\/a> <\/em>Sonic & Silver<\/em><\/a> & <\/em>The Accidental Heroes<\/em><\/a>. Myspace page.<\/a> I’ve been lucky enough to sell records and tour the world!<\/p>\n

– Nowadays I’m mostly a game designer, but I still write music.<\/p>\n

– I think games are the highest level of art being explored at the moment, but are still in their infancy. I feel like we’re on the cusp of something incredible, like the first tentative steps of silent movies into talkies. <\/em>I hope I’m still a part of it when it happens.<\/p>\n

– I began writing games on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum at the age of eight (1984, so you can work out my age…) and it’s been a life-long hobby of mine. I have worked in the industry as a designer on Xbox titles such as Kinectimals, but nowadays I’m full-time indie.<\/p>\n

– Some of the independent games I’ve done are listed on Moby Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– Other than that, the site frontpage is the best place to start (although that’s also out of date!) \u00a0The ones which are probably the most well-known are Lone Survivor, Soul Brother and Soundless Mountain II.<\/p>\n

Anyway, hope you enjoy your stay in superflat world…<\/p>\n

Peace + much love,<\/p>\n
