onpon4 is a member of MFGG who joined on October 18th, 2011. He is best known as the creator of Bowser's Last Stand and the Stellar Game Engine (SGE).

He is a strong supporter of free/libre software. As such, he refuses to use non-free sofware such as Windows, Game Maker, and Adobe Flash, among others. His operating system of choice is Trisquel, and he strongly recommends buying freedom-friendly hardware, such as what is found on Think Penguin. On MFGG, he in particular advocates the use of free replacements for Game Maker, such as Game Editor, ENIGMA, the SGE, and LÖVE.

His current preferred way to develop games is with the SGE, though he is also familiar with ENIGMA and Game Editor.

Bowser's Last Stand was developed before onpon4 was a strong free/libre software supporter.

Trivia

• "Onpon" comes from Japanese: 音本, which is an irregular combination intended to mean "origin of sound".
• onpon4 usually spells his username in all lowercase, "onpon4" instead of "Onpon4" (though this is not the case if the "4" is omitted). This comes from a programming convention; names are case-sensitive, and only classes are usually capitalized. He is not particularly bothered when people write it as "Onpon4", but he prefers the all-lowercase form.
• He has a website.
