I am an independent game developer and open source contributor. I've found joy working with my favorite tools: Godot (Game Engine) and Clojure (especially Babashka).

My games and tools are open-source - my goal is to work in the open and help other developers learn along with me. I share daily notes and longer posts on my blog: danger.russmatney.com

Game Dev:
I'm focused on reusable tools for rapid-prototyping, finishing game jams, and improving my game design skills.

  • Check out Dino, my Godot games/addons monorepo.
  • I stream development on Twitch - come on by!
  • You can find my games on itch.io: russmatney.itch.io

Clojure Dev:

  • I'm building up a Clojure window-management tool called Clawe, which runs on both Linux and OSX.
  • I'm ironing out two clojure and emacs org-based tools for writing and publishing. (org-crud and org-blog).
  • I keep an eye on the clojurians slack, and like to jump on contribution opportunities, especially in the Babashka ecosystem.

I also love chess and building up chess review tools (currently baked into clawe) - free to challenge me on lichess or ask to see the tools if I'm streaming!

I'm opening up sponsorships and setting up a patreon - the goal is to extend my independence - I want to work on open source clojure and godot projects full time, for as long as I can.

I want to extend the reach and influence of the tools that have brought me so much joy! Thank you for your support!

Reaching 10 sponsors would be insanely motivating - I'd pour more energy into the quality and documentation of my open-source tools and games, and start to invest in broader outreach!
