How I Ended Up Making a Videogame with an AI Called Crocodile

I’ve always had a thing for videogames and messing around with PCs.

That’s been my happy place for as long as I can remember. Making ridiculous videos for my YouTube channel, watching things explode in games, seeing how much carnage I could cause in one sitting — that’s always been my kind of therapy.

It is a quick retro-styled game built around simple questions, suspicious answers, missing letters, shapes, colours and the occasional moment of misplaced confidence.

Each level contains five questions. Some use numbers. Some use letters. Some ask you to count, spot a missing character or work out what is one, two or three away from the expected answer. Continue reading “ONE OR TWO, MAYBE B?”

Hello is a small app built around one simple idea:
