Shattered Pixel is the internet home-base and trade-name for Evan Debenham, that’s me! You may also know me by 00-Evan, which is a handle I usually use for accounts on various services or games. This website hosts the various things I work on, which at the moment is mostly Shattered Pixel Dungeon and blog posts about Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
I started Shattered Pixel Dungeon in late 2014, a few days after Pixel Dungeon went open source. My motivation at the time was realizing that I was headed toward a regular computer science career path, but really wanted to get into games, and was seriously late in starting on that. Pixel Dungeon going open source seemed like a great opportunity to get my feet wet.
What was originally supposed to be a project that lasted a few months ended up ballooning into a multi-year project because of the community’s overwhelmingly positive reaction. Shattered started as a rebalance mod and has grown into its own game, which shares a base and some assets with Pixel Dungeon.
This looks ideal for me. I like the atmosphere of these games but find them too detailed/tedious. This one seems more accessible.
