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.
Hi, welcome to my website.

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!!!”

Every time I try to follow an American recipe it’s like “use a cup of milk, three bushels of flour, two cubits of sugar and eleven hands of egg”

The world is full of horrors and the games industry is no respite but I am going to allow myself to be a little bit excited about a new Destiny expansion today.
