Hey I'm Rheyan (otherwise known as Caroline). I've been a gamer for over 40 years, and a software developer for many of those years but I've never really done any game development. 

I want to learn from the ground up and experience some nostalgia along the way so my focus initially will be very old classic games from before most present-day game devs were even born! 

I'll be using this Itch page to share my learning journey.
