Oh hi.

My name's Ryan Veeder. I'm a writer and game designer. I make lots of different things, but my goal at all times is for you to have fun. If you have any questions, please email me. Thank you for your interest.

INTERACTIVE FICTION

I have written many, many text adventures, including:

• The Little Match Girl series - Epic time travel fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen
• The Tales from Castle Balderstone series - Halloween anthologies of scary(?) stories
• Taleframe's Crocodracula series - Based on the early 90s show "Crocodracula" that you definitely remember
• A Rope of Chalk - A college chalk art event goes horribly wrong
• Ryan Veeder's Authentic Fly Fishing - A persistent Iowa park with birdwatching and weather and mysteries
• Taco Fiction - The game I wrote in 2011 that everybody likes more than anything I wrote after

Plus, every four years I organize the Quadrennial Ryan Veeder Exposition for Good Interactive Fiction for my own gratification, which I guess is my quadrennial exception to the "my goal at all times" thing I said earlier.
