Space Goblin Games is John Ayliff, a solo developer of text-based games and interactive fiction.

John's games include both conventional branching narratives and text-based roguelikes involving procedural generation. His work is inspired by a life-long love of science fiction books, movies, and comics.

Before becoming a solo developer, John worked as a content developer for RuneScape, where he developed several quests involving goblins but sadly none about space.

John lives in Vancouver, BC.
