About

I'm a student of Politics and Japanese language from the UK, currently studying in Tokyo. I'm interested in art and music. The SNES gave me my fondness for the 16-bit manifestations of these interests, i.e. pixel-art and MIDI music. I've been interested in programming too in a childish way, always dreaming of creating a 2D MMORPG to go run around in. Thankfully TMW seems to have saved me a lot of trouble :-)

Thoughts on TMW

• I believe in eight-directional spritesheets for player characters! Who's with me!?
