Joel Auterson
Hello! My name's Joel and I'm a software developer. No, not that one.
I run a tiny indie game studio called Bearwaves. I'm also a published poet.
I'm part of the Rare Mammals collective, and am an alumnus of Southbank New Poets and Barbican Young Poets. I work in the games industry.

Finally got around to mounting (by which I mean Lucy did it for me, I made a bollocks of it last time) the magazine covers for the games I worked on that got far enough to get magazine covers. The frames came in a pack of four so here’s hoping.

Definitely a birthday theme

My granda (on the right) with his siblings and his father. Year: who knows, but the boy in the front celebrated his 90th birthday the other day.

There’s something about Nintendo’s style of trailer voiceover that rubs me the wrong way. There’ll be a well made cinematic looking trailer and some overenthusiastic American yelling “your fairy companion can also attack and pick up items!!!”
