My name is Ulysse (born Benjamin) and I am a game developer, writer, and video maker. This will be my personal home page until another Ben Pence makes a compelling offer.

You should read my content if you're interested in game development/computer graphics, understanding modern culture, productivity, rationality, software, or Mandarin. Are you interested in going on an adventure? Let's collaborate!

You can hear more from me through YouTube, Twitter, or email: ulysse at benpence.com. I really do love answering questions and hearing from people about what excites them.
