Hey, my name is Tyler Glaiel. I started programming Flash games when I was 11, and have placed most of my games on my site and Newgrounds (
http://www.glaielgames.com/games.php), ranging from the crappy "first games" and experiments to recent critically-acclaimed works such as Aether and Closure.
Currently I am still working on pushing the boundaries of Flash Games, but also beginning to venture out and do some larger standalone games (including a new version of Closure,
www.closuregame.com/blog).
I really wish to help evolve the medium, exploring original gameplay mechanics and storytelling mechanisms in my works. I enjoy what I do, and am proud to say that I've never held a "real" job, even throughout high school.
Expect to see more of me in the future, I'm only 19 and just getting started!
