Hello, my name is Adam

I am a developer

A developer is a person or entity that builds, creates, or expands something into a more advanced or usable state

Who writes tales

A tale is a narrative that relates the details of an event, an adventure, or a series of events—either true or fictitious.

Why dev/tails?

I want to share what I build (dev), but I still wanted the freedom to write a tale (tails) about pretty much anything.

When I was a kid, I loved playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis.

As the younger sibling, I was destined to be player two (aka Tails).

In two player mode, the game still really only cares about Sonic. The camera follows Sonic and sometimes I would find myself completely offscreen only to be teleported back to where Sonic actually was.

Some might not have considered this position fun. However, it came with a significant benefit: Tails could infinitely respawn.

Lessons learned:

• When losing a life isn't on the line, you have complete freedom to experiment, take risks, and keep flying back into the frame
• You don't need the camera directly on you to make an impact
• Play the hand you're dealt, take hits for the team, and never stop getting back up
