Alexander Shen

Alexander Shen is a writer, game designer, and creator of offbeat, heartfelt worlds filled with adventure, humor, and a touch of the absurd. As the mind behind Mr. Goh and The Fall, they blend clever storytelling with whimsical charm, crafting comics and games that surprise and delight.

Beyond writing, they helm Shenbot Makes, a small game development and publishing company specializing in handmade, small-batch games. Their work often explores the balance between the fantastical and the mundane—whether through moddable video game sprites, tabletop mechanics, or the ever-expanding universe of THWAK! Infinite Forest and its enigmatic quest shop, Quests Over Coffee.

When not creating, they’re likely assembling games at home, prototyping toys, or convincing their kids that exercise can be fun. They also have a soft spot for pulp crime novels, tiny stationery, and characters with unexpectedly deep wisdom (like a certain rock named Pebbo).

Find them online, where they are probably fixing something. Or at least saying, "I'll fix it."

Alexander Shen lives in California with his wife, two children, and pack of wild (yet amazing) pets.
