ABOUT

I've been making things for as long as I can remember.
Growing up it was mostly GameMaker projects, handcrafted comics, and countless LEGO creations. Over the past few years I've now released a plethora of small games and gotten into the rhythm of drawing daily pixel art, and I'm just getting started.

Games give us unique ways to explore our reality and imaginations and to create immersive emotional experiences, and I love tapping into all of that. I love building worlds, telling stories, and finding sparks of interest even in the mundane. And of course, I love seeing the innovative ways other games explore all these areas.

My Art

My biggest hobby is drawing pixel art, which I've been doing daily since February 2018.
I started dabbling in it years ago for my games, but it's developed into its own passion.
Recently I've also been branching out into low-poly experiments through picoCAD.
I've even done voxel art in the past, primarily making cosmetic mods for the MMO Trove.

My Name

Although my first name is technically Joseph, I go by my middle name, Henry.
Jusiv, my online handle, is simply what it sounds like if you read my initials as a word.
