hi n stuf

I'm TheLuchenator (pronounced: 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 (I'll probably make another, more professional website to be used as an actual portfolio idk).

Either way, thanks for visiting this website, and have fun! :D

games n stuf

I started using Unity for game development after I got my first cheap-ass 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 (lowk considering switching back to Unity now)

animations n stuf

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.

vinyl n stuf

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, as well has, y'know, actually owning what I listen to.

Furthermore, as an addition to the aforementioned statments describing my reasoning behind mindlessly draining hundreds on dollars on phonographic vinyl records, funi engraved pancakes go spin.

thanks n stuf

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!
