    Yo! I'm Martin, nice to meet you!


    I am a Chilean guy who loves to play/make games, I am very
    curious, love to learn, and create
    Sometimes I get lonely because not a lot of people share my
    passion for creation, but I'm OK with it because I have some
    friends who are just as nerdy as me!
    I also feel divided about what I should do, I don't know if I
