Hi! I'm Xavier Ekkel - an independent game developer from Australia, with an interest in creating experimental games, and exploring the medium of games as an artform. I also hosts game jams!I single-handedly organise a wide variety of distinctive game jams, including the annual, the biennialand, as well asand- with plans for numerous other unique jams in the future!I try to make my jams the best possible experience for the participants. Each of my jams hasI've recruited to give feedback and a spotlight to the entries,(which I pay for out-of-pocket), and a space of sharing and discussion via mycommunity - which is approaching 1000 members!In combination, my jams have facilitated the creation of, and, including, andand experiences - games that explore what typically goes unexplored within the medium of video games, including games that evoke particular feelings, convey particular messages, and utilise unusual game mechanics.I've made a games about, and even, and I'm currently making, which lets you personally explore and reflect on the value of your friendships through importing your actual Facebook data.Not to mention numerous collaborative projects and works-in-progress that you'll be able to play in the near future!I also have afor the duration of next year, which will introduce many new exciting rewards for all patrons.Speaking of Patreon...Patreon basically allows you to throw money at someone per month, so they can keep doing what they're doing.Ideally, I'd be able to make artgames and host game jams forever,but...
