I've been a member of itch.io for quite awhile, but I guess I never properly introduced myself here, or took part of the community at all. I guess, I need to change that.
First of all, my name is Jeroen, for those who don't know how to pronounce Dutch, I'll try to explain how to pronounce my name. In Dutch the "J" is pronounced as the "Y" as in "Yes". And "oe" is pronounced as "ou" as in "you" or "oo" as in "soon". The "r" is hard to explain, but it's a bit more 'rolling'. I guess "Yeroon" can give the global idea of how to pronounce my name. I guess it's also a clear giveaway now that I'm from the Netherlands.
I'm currently in my forties, and I've been coding since I was eight. I've been using many languages such as BASIC, Pascal, BlitzBasic, Blitz3D, BlitzMax, C, C++, Lua, Python, Lua and C#. And I've also developed my own language called NIL, which I'm currently using in a very very great project (which also allows me to fine tune the language a bit more, as this shows me any flaws the language COULD still have).
To sum up a few more facts about me:
- Aside from coder I'm also a novel writer. My ages old novel Weniaria can be downloaded for free, but I can tell you, that was one of my first (and therefore not my best), but it did set up a basis for a lore that is sometimes a bit overwhelming for me too. Funny how things go.
- I like to play darts, although I haven't done it in a while, so I've gone a bit rusty. I also like to play pool (I'm not very good in it, but hey, I like to play for some fun. I don't wanna win the next world cup or something). :P
- I'm a former moderator of Game Jolt, that "other" indie site, and you can still find me there a lot. I've been a moderator and admin on multiple communities, though.
- I'm a man of contradictions. I can't stand tomatoes, but without tomato sauce my pizza is incomplete, and I do like tomato soup. You follow?
- Yes, I'm a man, NEVER allow my choice of avatars to fool you.
- I did play cabaret, or well, something like that, in the past.
- Another crazy fact about me: For some reason I like watching "Masha and the Bear".
- I drink too much coffee
- I've been married before. Although, I'm divorced by now, I'm still on good terms with my former wife, whom I now regard as a good friend. (So yes, I'm single).
- I'm an Aspie, and proud of it! It allowed me to view the world in a way I would never have been able to if I wasn't.
- I'm approx 1.83m tall, and I wear glasses.
- I have a cat named Kitty, and she's adorable
When it comes to games, I like to create puzzle games and RPGs, although I do sometimes also do a few other genres. Well, and if you wanna know more about me.... Just ask.... I never promise an answer, but asking can't hurt, right?
