Caleb Garner's Blog

I'm a game Game Designer and Project Manager. My focus is on flash and social network game development although I've worked on many different projects in the past. I've spent the last couple years in Nashville, TN building an indie game development scene. Part12 Studios was a result of that and I hope to see more projects and companies develop here.
