Alexei Pepers, Technical Systems Designer, Independent
Alexei is a technical systems designer with a focus on procedural generation. A founding member of Inflexion Games, she previously built the systems underpinning the procedural realms of Nightingale, and in particular developed the realm card system that gives players an in-game method of influencing generative parameters. Her interest in blending player agency with procedural systems led her next to Blaseball and then Gardens, as she continues to explore frameworks that make the most of combining developer creativity with systemic variety. She also co-organizes Roguelike Celebration, a community conference that embraces the full breadth of all things roguelike-adjacent.
