About Me
I am a Kiwi who enjoys coming up with wild, wacky and wonderful stories and characters. The culmination of this wild wacky wonderfulness is PENS 3: TIDES OF WAR which tells a serious story without taking itself seriously one little bit. (The story is serious, but is told through a blitz of one-liners and outrageous silliness.)
Lately, I've been experimenting with stories that actually take themselves seriously. The culmination of this serious take is SAVE MY SOUL: MASTER 2, a game that tries to be a mildly creepy and dark adventure.
I taught myself how to use Game Maker, which is the reason my earlier games were ugly and glitchy. I've improved significantly since the release of the original PENS, which is evident in PENS 3 and the PENS remake, PENS: RELOADED. I like experimenting, a fact proven with the varying play styles of my games.
My style is still evident in all of my works, as even the serious stories still take a small break to tell a couple of cheesy jokes. It's inevitable... my humour will break through, even if it's only temporary and/or subtle.
My stories usually originate in peculiar situations. PENS was created when I removed the rubber pen grip off my pen and folded it in half during a science class. Other stories or characters originate in dreams or when I'm trying to fall asleep. The intentionally glitchy character Glitchy Mitchy in PENS 3 originated when I, lying in bed almost asleep, suddenly thought 'what it would be like if something was intentionally glitchy?'. I then imagined a character walking backwards through a solid wall and burst into hysterics for whatever reason.

A brand new major update today! Version 1.17.7 fixes a huge number of major glitches and adds a multitude of new features, which are listed below:
1 - there are now three save slots to save your game to, and the save system has been updated heavily as a result.
2 - boss battles now autosave at the beginning of their battles, and autosaves recognize your previously selected save slot.
3 - you can now choose a difficulty to play the game on. There are three difficulty levels: easy, default, and hard.
4 - there is an all-new minigame to unlock and play.
5 - and major glitch fixes.
Previous version save games will not work with this new version, as the file names have been changed.
Let me know what you think of PENS 3! Give it a rating, review or comment over on the YoYo Games Sandbox or leave a comment and rating over on GameJolt! Alternatively, place your thoughts here. I am very interested in hearing your verdicts!

I don't expect anyone to, but it would mean a lot to me if someone had time to review PENS 3: TIDES OF WAR.
A BIT ABOUT THE GAME:
PENS 3 is an open-world, 2D side-scroller adventure game with an outrageous sense of humour and 13 missions to complete. There are ten different weapons available, and a multitude of bonuses and easter eggs scattered around.
A BIT ABOUT THE STORY:
The Pens have a dark past: they unknowingly caused the destruction of a planet, they were mutated and they started a war amongst themselves. Now that the war is seemingly over, foes from the past are beginning to reappear, and the only thing that can save the Pens from annihilation is unity... a unity that will not come easily.
