Hey, I'm Rivu. I'm the one you can probably yell at if you encounter a bug in any game I work on, because it's probably my fault (whoops).

I've been programming ever since I was able to install GameMaker: Studio on the piece of crap computer my family had in the kitchen. Since then, game development has been a huge part of my life. While I never had much time or motivation to work on many projects, programming still fascinated me, even if I was a little bit stupid sometimes.

I have a really strange fascination with horror, like concerningly so. Although my interest skyrocketed when I discovered a certain animatronic bear back in 2014, my exposure to the genre started long before that. Watching YouTubers play horror games like Amnesia or Slender Man made me grow an appreciation for horror games, and it very much influenced my interests today.

Other than horror games, I also replay Portal 2 an unhealthy amount as it is my favorite game of all time, though I also enjoy Celeste, Hollow Knight, Ultrakill, and probably any other indie game that could be seen as critically successful.

I love surrealism a lot, media that doesn't make sense is perfect to me and it will stay that way.
