Howdy,

Call me Lynne, I'm just a girl exploring and creating on the wild world web.


About Blini

I just make art and games, bro.

I’m Makayla Lynne, also known as Blini and formerly "LynnePlex". I'm a game producer passionate about storytelling, game development, and visual art. I love using various creative tools to bring worlds to life and share them with others.My journey into programming began in grade school through a mechanical engineering program. I built and programmed LEGO robots to battle with my classmates' creations, it was my first taste of combining creativity with code.After graduating grade school in 2016, I explored web development and graphic design, creating assets for Roblox game developers and small YouTubers. In high school, I volunteered with nonprofit organizations, designing graphics for their websites and social media pages.Wanting to do more with my art and coding skills, I began learning Python for game development. I expanded into 3D modeling, game writing, and continued collaborating with Roblox devs. Eventually, I dove into game engines and that's when I found my favorite tool.In late 2023, I discovered the Godot Engine (version 3) through a random Discord server. Since then, I’ve used it to create three games: one for a game jam and two published prototypes. I’ve also contributed writing and songwriting to other developers’ projects, while continuing to sharpen my skills in Godot’s systems and design principles.

Game Prototypes

Prototypes are early, playable builds used to test core mechanics and design ideas. These experimental projects help me evaluate gameplay potential and refine future development decisions. Feedback is always welcome!


Web Design & Development

I like making cool websites, either for myself or for others. You can check out my web design projects here!


Photography

This is where I share some of my favorite shots and moments I’ve captured over time. I enjoy exploring different niche shots, playing with environment, and finding beauty in odds and ends of things. Take a peek inside and enjoy the photos!

Mini Analysis & Articles

I write mini-analyses of games I love and share quick dev tips I've learned as a solo game developer. If you're curious about my design perspective or looking for helpful insights, you'll find them here.
