Hi, I'm Brennan!

I'm a solo game developer working on a game called MUSESTRUCK. I spend basically all my free time working on the thing, and I'm quite excited for people to see more of it when it's finished. It's a love letter to all my favorite indie and retro games, which have basically shaped who I am today.

Check out the DEMO!!

It's free and can be played in your web browser :-)

Hello all!

NAME: Merlin

AGE: 44

PRONOUNS: he/they (been ma'am'd for years, no worries)

WHO BE: Call center rep by day, fan and supporter of those who make art and experiences for others to witness and enjoy(?) by night. Been doing Extra Life charity marathon for over 15 years now, starting back when Sarcastic Gamer/Big Red Barrelcast had the reigns initially. Love all kinds of video games, and am blessed to have friendships with all kinds of rad humans, even if I have yet to share meat space with some of them.

Handle comes from a somewhat regular assurance that my birth name is, in fact, Merlin. Can count on one hand how many humans I've personally met who share my name, and I'm down to see picture of pets who bear my moniker. Or critter pictures in general, for that matter.
