Hi my name is Ryan but I created this Gamers Therapy thing because well, I am a gamer who was in therapy and still needs to be. I'm 32 years old, single dad, hate my job, diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. I want to do something that I enjoy and gaming is what I really enjoy. I guess I prefer writing as i I have no experience coding.
I have an overactive imagination which have led to hallucinations before I went on meds and I am currently using Twine to talk about these nightmares and get them out. I know what games I would like to create and what themes I would like to explore. I can see the gameplay in my head but don't know how to get it out. So I guess I'm hoping to be part of a team where I can tell a story and others can hopefully understand what I'm trying to do.
I'm hoping this will become a therapy thing for me but also open doors into game development or being part of a team that does game development either indie or otherwise.
I'm just really sad at the moment and I want to prove to my daughter that anything is possible.
I have already upload a very short interactive story called No More. My first foray into this world of development which you can find on my profile page.
Anyway, that's me right now.
