Tyler Yohe's Blog

Company Info:

 My claims to fame:

  • Co-founder and CEO of Broken Crown Games, small indie dev studio
  • Creator and Lead Writer of the Broken Crown series
  • Executive Producer for Broken Crown: Escaping Titan (in production)
  • Subpar programmer, messing up stuff where I can for my team
  • Subpar artist, inserting stick figures where necessary

 About Me:

With degrees in Nanotechnology, Biology, and a Master's in Biomedical Engineering - game development wasn't exactly my first career path.  Never the less, since mid-2011 I've found myself answering the question: "What do you do for a living?" with the response "I'm develop games."
