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.

In somewhat typical fashion, Google have changed how Back handling works in the newest Android SDK but have not, predictably, made the new way usable from the NDK. Hopefully they will by the time the opt out stops working but I ain’t holding my breath tbh

Our first home grown tomatoes of the year (actually ever) and they’re pretty good!

Rolled credits on The Mermaid Mask. Loved it! Loved Tangle Tower but this one is even better.

Rolled credits on Chrono Trigger for the first time ever. If you’ll permit me a hot take: Chrono Trigger is really good
