Richard Gaskin is the face behind Fourth World Systems, a software design and development consultancy in downtown Los Angeles. He’s been making software since before the web was invented, with his work in recent years focusing on bespoke authoring systems for corporate, medical, and educational organizations.

Richard has worked in an advisory role with most of the companies that have ever produced HyperTalk dialects, including having served as the LiveCode Community Liaison for the eight years the platform was open source.

During the pandemic he’s been branching out to explore systems design in cardboard, with a few print-and-play board games in the works for publication later this year.
