I'm Lee Perry, I've been making games for around 20 years, making me older than dirt. I was Lead Designer at Epic Games and worked there for 10 years prior to going indie with 5 friends and forming BitMonster.
In just over a year we're putting final touches on our 3rd game (Lili on iOS, THRED on iOS, and unannounced) and it's been a crazy informative adventure. I hope to share a lot about it, and perhaps we can all be better off for it. |

| Whenever a developer asks or allows me to look at an unfinished project to give advice, time and again I find myself giving this same input. Make your game "feel" good. A nebulous bit of input, but not as hard to implement as you'd think. |
