Allo I'm Jonathan from New Zealand. I mostly play Simulators, City Builders, RTS, RPGs, and Retro Games. I also IRL stream Baking. (Share recipes?) I have a Biology degree and a Post Grad Diploma in Botany (Molecular Genetics, and Plant Taxonomy and Evolution)(Let's talk plants sometime). I have a passion project called "Tudor Letters" or Tudor Spy Game See below panel (Let's talk history sometime). I have a day job as a manager in a camera store (Let's talk photography sometime). I have a cat named Tigger, she's a giant floof ball and rules the house with an iron paw. Alas she's not a lap cat so she isn't on stream for long.

*Be nice and kind. Just don't be a cunt. Expect honesty. *Feel free advertise other streams. Networking FTW Just don't expect me to look right away. *No Spoilers if we're playing a story game. Don't be that guy. *Racism is so 1964. We're all humans. Don't. *No homophobia. LGBTQIA2+ etc friendly and supportive place here. Love is love. Life is too short to expect others to live by your rules and expectations! It's their life, not yours! And happiness seldom comes from following others expectations in your own life. *No toxic masculinity or toxic femininity *You're welcome to talk Politics or Religion just don't expect everyone to agree with you and don't get butt hurt when they don't. *Troll? I have high standards. Poor quality and underwhelming trolls will be banned. *If we're on the same server please don't stream snipe me.

I'm developing a narrative videogame set in the 16th century where you play as Sir Francis Walsingham (Elizabeth I's Spymaster). The game involves reading REAL historical letters, breaking actual codes and cyphers used, and managing spies to keep your Queen safe. Current Phase of Dev - Collecting letters from available literature and arranging them in a timeline. Pretty please don't steal the idea. Photo credit: wikipedia
