Welcome...
I am Santiago Zapata (a.k.a. slashie), a videogame developer.
Here you will find a collection of things I've made, alone or with friends, which include roguelikes, procedural content generation, exploration games, online environments, homages to classic series as genre-mashups, creativity platforms, collection games, space shooters, educational games, point-and-click adventures, strategy/tactics and more!
I like gamejams.
This is my personal projects collection, client work is normally not included unless I had a critical role on the inception of the project.
I'm also the founder of Slashware Interactive, head there for my published projects.
