Håkon Medhus Fornes
Software developer who also tries to make games.
I spend a lot of my free time building things, usually because I had an idea and couldn't leave it alone.
Some turned out useful. Others probably didn't need to exist at all.
A few of those projects live here. Most are running from a server in my house.
Projects
A game log I built for me and my friends after deciding every existing option was missing something. It has since grown into a full service, and anyone can sign up.
Guess the game from its patch notes.
Somehow, Dexerto and Polygon ended up writing about it.
Guess what a real patent filing is describing. They rarely make it obvious.
