REGRETS THIS ALREADY
Hello! I'm Tom. I'm a game designer, writer, and programmer on Gunpoint, Heat Signature, and Tactical Breach Wizards. Here's some more info on all the games I've worked on, here are the videos I make on YouTube, and here are two short stories I wrote for the Machine of Death collections.

Games I Don’t Plan To Make: Relativity Paramedic
I forgot part of the plan for this: your near-lightspeed space ambulance would also be indestructible and have perfect inertial dampening. So to decelerate, you just try to crash into all the debris you were trying to avoid as you picked up speed. So it’d go:
- Accelerate away from planet – dodge debris!
- When you’ve gone far enough fast enough, decelerate – hit debris!
- Turn around.
- Accelerate towards planet – dodge debris!
- Crash into planet!
