NEVER TOO LATE...

...for introductions, I guess?

Hey all, I generally go by Rine in most internet forums nowadays. Always been an aspiring game designer since I was much younger, though my college experience told me working in the industry was definitely not where I wanted to be. I currently teach English/Science in Korea at a semi-government facility. Since this place actually pays on time and is pretty much guaranteed long term, I finally have time to work on personal projects.

Previously, I have designed some tabletop games for use among my circle of friends as well as coding for a MUD in the past. I consider myself a perpetual student of game design. I will play pretty much everything, because I feel most games, even some reasonably bad ones, have things we can learn from. My coding and design style tends to be taking elements from various mediums/works, and rehashing them to put them together in new and interesting ways. As such, I tend to learn better when I watch people do something, or look at someone else's work, and mix it around to make it do what I want it to do. Examples being taking a waterfall auto-move code in the MUD I worked on, and redesigning it so it could be used for a sliding trap area, or taking code that caused an enemy to counter-attack certain spells, and changing it so it made a boss monster change forms instead.

I am always up for testing other games if wanted, though I will be brutally honest if I don't like portions of your design.
