Fresh Prints

Spot the AI images, then guess the exact prompt that made them. A fresh set every day. Closest to done I've been in ages, and the one I'm most excited to put in people's hands.

Very soonopen→

Steam● In development

A game about rotating shapes around yourself without letting them touch you. Reverse horseshoe. The oldest idea I have and still the one I'm proudest of, which makes it embarrassing that it isn't out yet.

Steam● In development

Space Pulse

Rhythmic Pong in space. BIT.TRIP Flux got into my head and never left, so I started building my own. It sat still for a long time. It's moving again.

itch.io● Released

Nords and Fjords

A short roguelite runner down a very long fjord, toward whatever is waiting at the end. It came out in 2018 and it looks like it came out in 2018. You can still play it.

Experiment● Archived

Tableside

A text RPG narrated by a model instead of a person. One turn took two models at two vendors, because the one that could write a scene couldn't say what the choices in it were. We ran it fourteen months.

Studio● Live

N-GON Interactive

The studio I co-founded, and where the projects live. It exists so the creative decisions stay ours and the work gets however long it needs to be good.

Archive● Rest in peace

Exigence · Chronoflux

Ambitious, unfinished, and gone. Every dead project taught me something the shipped ones couldn't.

things in my head

Sound

I've been making music about as long as I've been making games, and the two stopped being separate a long time ago. I write the soundtracks when there's time and direct them when there isn't, and a good half of Space Pulse exists because I wanted something on screen moving in time with one. Here's the latest.

things I'm figuring out

Words

A place for devlogs, notes on games and music, and whatever I'm figuring out. Longer essays are on the way.

Fresh Prints is almost here

A daily challenge about spotting AI images, and then naming the exact prompt behind the ones a machine made. The closest to done I've been in ages.

the person behind it

About

I build things that feel alive: shipping games, composing music, and writing software. Some of it survives, some of it doesn't. Mostly, I just love making things.

Passionate about programming, music, and game development. I make video games, compose music, and build the occasional company. Games are the closest thing we have to an art form that thinks back, and I've spent a long time trying to make my own.
