I love videogames and I also love engaging gameplay with dynamic challenges, and such preferences brought me straight into speedrunning. As a QA engineer, I use my software testing experience to find the most broken ways to beat games fast, and this is my approach to mixing business with pleasure! So I occasionally run my favorite games live on Twitch.
This hobby is a big part of my journey to create the perfect horror game. I have to master a lot of things, like good storytelling, music writing and programming, but I also must understand how to create a fun and engaging experience. Playing challenges is one of my ways to mind good game design. I also used to write about various horror games for my old VKontakte blog, and I still examine various games and demos during my streams.
My Twitch viewers can decide which game I should play next. This is a regular Wheel event, where I randomly pick one of suggested titles and play it. Sometimes I even make a big post for my Horror Games blog.
Besides my speedrunning PBs I also have some real achievements, like this SCP: Containment Breach web map. This is my big reverse engineering project where I recreated a random map generator and made it work on a single web page - pure for speedrunning and entertaining purposes.
