Flapjack the dog

Hi!

my name is Alec Troemel, and you found my website!

Im a Christian, and currently attend Eastview Christian Church. I currently work at this cool place called Mirus Research, and in my freetime enjoy making tiny games (usually with TIC-80 and Janet Language). I also enjoy making music from time to time, which you can listen to here.

Recent games I've made (see all)

Stuff I've written (see all)

Last time I updated this site it was February 2025, what was I up to?

  • 📚 Continued reading Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov
  • 🎹 Started composing a song codenamed 'Winter Walk'
  • 📚 Continued reading MicroPython on Raspbery Pi Pico by Gareth Halfacree, Ben Everard
  • 🕹ī¸ Completed playing Ratchet and Clank 2016 by Insomniac Games
    This game is the perfect example of how you can have great individual parts that don't come together. The graphics are pretty, gameplay is fun chaos, and there's some really witty writing. However, it's how these elements are tied together... or don't... that just makes the whole game feel like I skipped an important cutscene. Maybe its the loading screens right after playing Uncharted 4, or how you just get dropped into a level, or how they very clearly just jammed in some clips from the movie that don't line up with the actual gameplay, or how the bosses are just big boring damage sponges. Its fine, and I finished it, but I honest don't know how this game got such good reviews. Maybe the new one is better?
  • 🕹ī¸ Started playing a Hat in Time by Gears for Breakfast
