  • Five Honor 2: Multiplayer medieval fighting game featuring vikings and samurai. 
  • Bloody Fend Off: You’ve been attacked in a forest by a creature. Now you must fend off waves of forest monsters trying to finish the job by shooting your own blood at them, making sure not to run out. 
  • Dungeon Typer is an edutainment project I worked throughout the spring semester, which is a top-down zone-to-zone… dungeon typer, as the name implies. The game’s purpose is to get people to become better typers, and is planned to be entirely free to play. This will basically be the same game I showed during the showoff night from May, with a couple of QOL tweaks. As of writing this, no major gameplay/visual/audio changes have been implemented so far. My next objective is to make a mobile port of this current version so it can be more accessible to people, and for people to be able to access the game without needing my laptop.
  • Chromicles Meteor Fall: An epic turn based RPG made in RPG Maker featuring complex team building mechanics, strategic battles, dozens of hours of character and lore-driven side content, and open ended exploration. 
  • DEADS HOT: As an exiled gunslinger, return to a town overrun with strange monsters, fighting your way through to talk to the townsfolk discover what happened in your absence in this 2.5D Shooter. 
  • Wraith of the Cards is a turn-based deckbuilding RPG with platforming exploration! Explore the vast halls of a mysterious mansion that has called you forth, and attack your way through enemies using special card magic! 
  • Clock Chess: Solve puzzles using familiar chess moves activated through a hand of playable cards, granting you effects like repeating a move, transforming a piece into a horse, and more. Each puzzle is designed to use exactly the cards you are granted. 
  • Hook and Line Sniper: You are a fish. Armed with your grappling hook-equipped sniper rifle, go on the ultimate krilling spree in Hook Line & Sniper! In this fast-paced arcade shooter, rack up points by mastering your arsenal and maximizing your style. 
  • The World’s Easiest Platformer is a perfectly ordinary platformer… probably. Like the name says, it’s the easiest platformer you will ever play. It has levels, platforms, a jump button, all the usual stuff you would expect. There’s absolutely nothing weird about this game, and this abstract would never ever lie to you about that. Ever. Probably. 
  • lucidOS: Desktop Incremental: Clean up a frutiger aero desktop by sorting files, upgrading abilities, and maximizing your economy. 
  • Circus Freak: You have “volunteered” to be part of the show in the Amazing Circus Freak! Escape the nightmare of the underground circus, where you must survive dangerous circus performances 
  • Delicious Ducks is a chaotic local multiplayer party game for up to 4 players, where you play as ducks to stack falling food, throw explosive ingredients, avoid environmental hazards, and score points before you blow up. 
  • RADMINTON: Become a super rad parkour vigilante and fight back against ADCO.  Experience over-the-top action and comical gunfights as you traverse 
    through movement-based levels and puzzles. 
  • Steel Seraphim: Proving Grounds is a hybrid mecha third-person-shooter/visual-novel style dating sim. Utilize your arsenal to defeat hordes of monstrous enemies in action-packed missions, and romance your fellow pilots during story-driven intermissions.
