YouTube History

I've run many YouTube channels since my first in 2008. I've done Live Action films, stick figure animations, sprite animations, SMW & Emerald ROM Hacks, Smash modding tutorials, Minecraft tutorials, and now Minecraft invention videos!

You can find more info on my YouTube journey on the Mysticat Home Page or on my current channel here.

Game Development History

I've been making games for as long as I can remember. I've used many different engines, but I always seem to come back to GameMaker Studio 2.

As a kid I made many horrible Smash Bros. clones and other types of 1v1 minigames, but in College I competed in Science Olympiad game design and was the only person in my school to win any medals: 2nd Place in State! Many of my old projects are long-gone (good riddance to be honest) but I'm extremely excited to see what game development holds in my future!

I've been designing maps, levels, and mini-games since I was about twelve in Halo 3, Halo Reach, and now Minecraft. I'm obsessed with the psychology behind level-design and how to teach players as much as possible with as little as possible, and how to optimize FPS maps to encourage specific entertaining natural-feeling routing!

I may retire from YouTube one day, but I will never stop making games!

HEMA Fencing

I regularly train in Historical European Martial Arts Fencing with full gear at my local HEMA club! I've been obsessed with it since my first beginner class.

Voice Acting

I'd consider myself a hobbyist voice actor more than anything. I have no interest in large recurring roles, but I love playing silly side characters! I've done thousands of auditions over the years and landed many roles, being in video game mods, youtube roleplay series, and even some weird low-budget netflix movies! I have a very wide range of voices with weird styles and accents I work on frequently.

If you're interested in having me audition for a role of yours, please DM me on Twitter!

Art

I've been making pixel art and music for my games since I was in middle school. I'm no professional, but I actively study and practice new techniques to level up both skills! I'm very excited to see the kinds of things I can make in the future, and love the challenge of making entire games and all of their assets solely by myself!
