Hello! I’m Dylan Mahler. I graduated from UC: Santa Cruz in June 2025 with degrees in Computer Science and Electronic Music.
I currently produce music and develop games as EchoLane. My debut title, BubbleBeast DigiDungeon, was nominated for Best Student Game at the 2026 Independent Games Festival (IGF)!
I have 8 years of experience making highly-polished audio, visual, and written content promoting projects for EchoLane and for clients! I specialize in social media for indie games, multimedia asset creation, and community management.
I'm a lover of birds, roguelikes, and clarinet. In college, I helped run UCSC’s game development club, GDA!
