About Me
Hi, I'm @washburnello, also known as Wash or Mr. Burnello! I'm an aspiring indie game developer and all-around nerd. I've been trying to make games in som capacity since I was 9, but it wasn't until 2023 when I discovered LazyDevs Academy's Basic Shmup tutorial on Youtube.
My plan is to make a few games in each of the following systems until I finally release a game on Steam.
Pico-8 -> Picotron -> Love2D -> Godot
My Background
I'm self-taught in game development and have been experimenting with fantasy consoles ever since I got Mario Paint when I was a kid. I spent a little time with an indie game shop named P1XL doing pixel art and level design. I work in IT and while I'm comfortable with most tech, web development has been a bit of a challenge for me—which explains why this website took some time to put together!
What I Create
This page is devoted to my game dev, but I also write music, paint, 3D print, and run quite a lot of D&D games for friends and family. I was in a D&D actual play podcast for a few years called Winged Badger Tavern here and here.
