About Me

Hi! I'm Austin McDonald, a programmer and game developer. I'm currently the lead designer and programmer of SOLUNE and Echoes of Shadows.

I enjoy creating games, writing code, composing music, and working on random projects just for the fun of it.

This website is also my way of learning web development, so it's probably going to change quite a bit over time.
