Professor Brown on Clubhouse

Bio

Principal Game Designer at Firewalk Studios. Fibromyalgia. Aspiring corner. They/them.

Long version:
Hi! I'm Prof, or Professor as my friends call me. My pronouns are they/them. Here's some stuff about me:

Game Development:
I've been a game designer for over 12 years now, and have worked in AAA (Insomniac, Bungie, Firewalk) and indie (Hyper Light Drifter) spaces. My specialty is in gameplay systems in action games. Basically, I make it feel good to do rad shit in shooters. I feel the craft of game design has made me a better human being, and I love to talk about it. I also mentor mid-career designers!

Chronic Illness and Mental Health:
I have fibromyalgia (a chronic pain and fatigue syndrome due to my central nervous system being stupid). Along with that came major depressive disorder and bipolar II. I am very open to talking about my experiences with these as a way to destigmatize mental health and chronic illness in our society.

Boxing:
I am no boxer (see chronic illness), but I absolutely ADORE fighters. I would love to learn to be a corner to help and take care of fighters. I love to watch boxing, but probably not for the reasons that most people do - I love to watch two people who respect one another exert their will against each other and bond through combat. I'm in it for the feelings, y'all!

Queer AF:
I'm asexual, bi-romantic, and non-binary (specifically, genderfluid). I am open to discussing all of these things, if your questions are in good faith.
