Welcome to my humble webpage.
I'm Alex Ackler, one of the world's leading indie game devs (sorted alphabetically)

I'm an enthusiastic, up and coming, 25 year old software dev looking to break into the game development industry - my lifelong dream job!

Check out my projects below - esepcially Wordwalker, my first released title. And feel free to message me with my contact info (top left).
