Who I Am

My name is Ryan Lockhart.

I'm an independent hobbyist who specializes in game engine programming. For a living, I work with industrial controls in the automotive sector. I've been working on the mythology underlying Necrowarp for approximately two decades.

Mythological Vision

The Three Tragedies, or the Penultimate Cycle of the Old Machine, are my life's work. I've iterated on the mythology for many years and it is now approaching a form that is ready for eyes beyond mine.

I am deeply indebted to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and Kentaro Miura. Their monolithic influence on my own cannot be overstated. My mythology is an expression of an enduring deterministic world view. Through it, I have derived my own understanding of the nature of existence, pondered the inherency of tyranny, and vindicated the illusion of free.
