I'm TheLuchenator (leuch-en-ate-er), an 18-year-old aspiring game developer and animator. I enjoy doing both as hobbies :)
This website is meant to document some of the hobbies I have, along with maybe being used as some unprofessional portfolio for game development, animation, or just tech/IT in general.
Either way, thanks for visiting this website, and have fun! :D
I started using Unity for game development after I got my first super cheap HP laptop back in 2021, but switched to using Unreal Engine a few years later after upgrading to a new laptop in 2022 and getting pissed off over the Unity Runtime Fee, which got cancelled around a year later (somewhat switched back to Unity now)
I've always been into animation, and was finally able to start making my very own in 2019 with animation apps like FlipaClip or whatever crappy stick fight animation apps I found on Google Play. You can still view some of the old-ish animations I made on my YouTube channel before I found out about Blender, which I would exclusively start using after getting my first laptop.
I've also been collecting vinyl records since December of 2024. I found it to be cool to have a physical copy of an album, EP, or single to have in my room to show off.
Furthermore, as an addition to the aforementioned statements describing my reasoning behind mindlessly draining hundreds on dollars on physical media editions of organized auditory frequencies, funi engraved pancakes go spin.

Thanks for visiting this website! This was made entirely by me as a passion project and as an opportunity for me to learn web development, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This was a blast to work on, even though I hadda cough up $12 (and 7 more each month) to get the domain and hosting. If you'd like to see my process making this website, watch the video I uploaded on my YouTube channel about it!
