Bee Bussell

Bee's Corner

Hello! This is my page where I will host all my more polished or more complete, games and other endeavors I have undertaken in my life. Might include things like fully-fledged games, prototypes, or maybe just a random sprite sheet that I felt proud of that I made one day. 

About Bee

I am a lot of things and it's kinda crazy. I grew up making calculator games for my friends in middle school which slowly evolved into iPad games, and random encryption apps for my friends to share secret messages. 

I believe my brain has been molded through hours of growing up playing games like The Legend of Zelda, and Jet Set Radio and that much of the stuff I do can be derived from those two influences during my formative years.

My Drive

I aim to create things that can be enjoyed by people wanting to be changed. I want to create games that change people and make them see the world differently, even if it's in the smallest of ways. For me, media of all kinds has always impacted and changed me. The Legend of Zelda fostered my love of music and nature, Jet Set Radio inspired me to live freely, and the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once helped me vocalize the optimistic nihilism that I live by. My goal is to create something as meaningful for someone as those random examples that popped into my head were me.

Current Work

Currently, I am working with a team of peers to develop a game tentatively titled FireFly. The game is about Flyph the firefly, who lost their wings and needs to master moving around on the ground to reach back home and have a chance at regaining their wings. The game is a 2D platformer and currently has a prototype intended to serve as a proof of concept and rough draft for what the complete game might contain. You can play that here:

Previous Work

I have worked and created a number of games, applications, widgets, and frameworks over the years. Unfortunately, many of them were lost due to the nature of them being things like Calculator games, or on old laptops. However many can still be found on my GitHub page.  Be warned, the further back you go through my repositories the more unhinged(young) I gets.

In the future I might attempt polishing and migrating some of those projects to this page, however, that's unlikely and for now, they stand more as a testament to how far I've come.
