Ryan "Rybar" Malm's GameDev (HomeTeam & Independent)

Hello!  I’ve been dabbling in game development and game art for years, interspersed throughout my career in graphic design and web development.  This collection represents a small portion of games I’ve contributed or lead while a member of HomeTeam GameDev since October 2019, and a few award-winning game jam entries. You can find me lurking and occassionally posting art and gamedev stuff on twitter
