GitHub Sponsors Profile

I am an independent game developer and open source contributor. I've found joy working with my favorite tools: Godot (Game Engine) and Clojure (especially Babashka).
My games and tools are open-source - my goal is to work in the open and help other developers learn along with me. I share daily notes and longer posts on my blog: danger.russmatney.com
Game Dev:
I'm focused on reusable tools for rapid-prototyping, finishing game jams, and improving my game design skills.

Check out Dino, my Godot games/addons monorepo.
I stream development on Twitch - come on by!
You can find my games on itch.io: russmatney.itch.io

Clojure Dev:

I'm building up a Clojure window-management tool called Clawe, which runs on both Linux and OSX.
I'm ironing out two clojure and emacs org-based tools for writing and publishing. (org-crud and org-blog).
I keep an eye on the clojurians slack, and like to jump on contribution opportunities, especially in the Babashka ecosystem.

I also love chess and building up chess review tools (currently baked into clawe) - free to challenge me on lichess or ask to see the tools if I'm streaming!
I'm opening up sponsorships and setting up a patreon - the goal is to extend my independence - I want to work on open source clojure and godot projects full time, for as long as I can.
I want to extend the reach and influence of the tools that have brought me so much joy! Thank you for your support!
