Background

About Raven Lim

Greetings! I am a software developer with a profound interest in game development, dedicated to delivering innovative solutions and pushing the boundaries of digital creativity. I often delve in website and application development, especially in the seamless integration of different systems. Whether linking a web extension to a Unity Engine project via WebSockets or connecting a web extension with a locally hosted server using Windows Speech for dynamic text-to-speech capabilities, I try to make the things work so things may work. Beyond that, I also do game dev projects during my free time, and always try to innovate on new ideas. I have published a few games, some of which are game jam projects. Among my noteworthy achievements is "Billy The Worm Bait," made for the GMTK 2023 Game Jam, scoring the 194th place out of 6795 games. I normally use the handle 'TheSquawkyRaven' as my online presence, as well as for my Itch.io profile. During my studies, I was the president of Hackerspace MMU, where we shared and hacked on all sorts of projects regardless of how small they are or how absurd the idea or progress goes, as we all tried having fun while building our skills and knowledge. My journey into software development was inspired by my passion for video games, after an unsuccessful attempt at creating my own game. Gaming has given rise on my interest in analysing the design and concepts of video game mechanics.
