Welcome to my site.

An introduction.

Hey, my name is John Thomas Lamb, and this is my site! "John Thomas" is kinda my first name (it's what my parents mostly call me), but most people just call me JT since it's easier.

I'm currently still setting things up here, but my plan for this site is for it to be a semi-professional site. I've got sections of my site that showcase my work, like /games, but I've also got sections dedicated to my personal interests and hobbies.

More About Me

I'm in my early twenties and I am currently a game design student in Michigan. I would consider myself to not just be a game programmer, but also a technical artist, since I've got a bit of a 3D art background and since I'm into some of the more "artsy" stuff that my programmer friends avoid like shaders and material creation. One of these days I'll settle on a single title.

Outside of making games, I'm really into music. I mainly just listen to my favorite bands and practice my guitar when I have the time to. I've got a pretty decent sized record collection. It's mostly prog-rock oriented stuff, but I've got some more well-known stuff too. I also collect CDs and tapes but those aren't as cool. Another interest I have is tinkering with technology. Think modding iPods or homebrewing a Wii U, not engineering stuff really. I've also liked doing craft projects from time to time. I used to be super into making paracord bracelets, and now I'm looking for another craft to keep me busy. I'm from the Southern US, but I never really liked it that much growing up so I'm trying to move elsewhere.

On the site's design

You might notice that some of the images on this site look like they're from the 90s. This is intentional! I think dithering patterns look dope so I coopted them for my website's style. They unfortunately don't look as good on mobile though. I'd rather my site look a little funky than look like a WordPress template.
