My name is Russ Rapp — also known as T3sserak. I'm the founder, developer, and designer behind Mythforge, a digital space where passion for code, creativity, and gaming collides. This project is not just a portfolio; it's a living archive of my journey through the world of software development and game design.
As a self-driven programmer and systems administrator, I'm learning the full stack with a primary focus on JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and game development tools like ExcaliburJS and Phaser. My goal is to become adaptable — a developer who can tackle anything from front-end interfaces to game logic, tools, and full app ecosystems.
Whether I'm building interactive web pages, crafting pixel-art RPGs in 16-bit style, or experimenting with AI assistants on my home servers, I'm constantly pushing to master every angle of programming. I’ve even got a growing library of mods, apps, and review blogs in the works — all built on passion and purpose.
The name “Mythforge” represents exactly what I’m trying to create — a place where legendary ideas are shaped into functional code. Like a forge for heroes and legends, this site is where digital dreams come to life, one project at a time.
From Pokémon-style legion evolutions to custom Elden Ring builds, everything I make is rooted in storytelling, learning, and sharing. I want to build things that inspire — not just for myself, but for my son, my peers, and anyone else chasing their next big idea.
My roadmap includes developing educational games for kids, crafting modular game mods for Nexus, and writing brutally honest but respectful video game reviews. I'm learning, building, and documenting everything — not just to get better, but to share that journey with others.
If you're a gamer, a dev, a teacher, a dreamer, or just someone curious, I invite you to stick around. You’ll find something new with each visit.
