About the Author

Johannes Steidele

ah let's face it, you don't want to read my life story. or do you: I was born in 2990 when Blender (the program I am using) is actually called Adobe 3000. I have traveled back in time to prevent the events leading to the acquisitions of our beloved programs by monopolies. My father was a simple farmer. He worked pretty hard everyday, almost an hour from 15pm to 16pm, that's quite a lot in the future as temperatures are as high as 50°C due to massive hot tubs used by the super rich on a daily basis. As you can see the future is grim, and that's why you should become a patron and help me out here. https://www.patreon.com/MoonManPictures
