Welcome to the Odd Thief Project. My name is Stephen Nicks and I was born and raised down south in Mississippi. I have been playing video games for over 2 decades now starting out on the Super Nintendo and PC's with those old CRT Monitors "feeling old now". As a black man that has been consuming games and games media for a while it's apparent that their is a lack of black representation in video games so I decided to start my own studio and develop my own games.

The goal for me as a black solo game developer is to develop single player narrative driven games about African American/black culture with creative worlds to explore and creative storytelling in a variety of genres from Non Fiction stories about black people to Afopunk to Steamfunk and Sword and Soul and everything that is Afrofuturism using Linux and free open source software in a traditional/urban 2D art style.
