Hi, my name is James Spanos.

I've coded Primordia, a game where Man is but a myth.

I've also worked on a lot of other games, most notably, Strangeland, The Cat Lady, Hob's Barrow, Until I Have You, Mages Initiation and currently Fallen Gods and Carbonflesh.

Racing to rally the jarl and raise his forces to fight Fraener, we're waylaid by Styrbjorn, the great raider of the whale-roads. But, to paraphrase Tony Stark, "We have a 'zerk." #wishlistwednesday

We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

With all these fighters and a mighty god, I ought to go troll-hunting, toughen 'em all up a bit... what could go possibly wrong?

Before the Overthrow, those who worked the earth welcomed landwights and even worshipped the vǫrðr who watched over farm and field. But that bond was broken long ago... save, perhaps, for a god who wears the Wightweave.

No DLSS 5. Just good art direction.

A witch haunts the woodstead of Alfshaw, but in Fallen Gods, one man's fiend is another's friend. #screenshotsaturday

A midwit god is unworthy of a weapon like the Bow of Bones, but it makes a good gift for a woodsman. #wishlistwednesday (a little early)

These wolves messed with the wrong warband. Never get between a god and his dinner!

"Strangeland is actively weird. Staged in the twilight space of dreams in a pseudo-carnival filled with bizarro characters, it asks you to accept its twisted logic."

I LOVE my stream. Can start talking about the game I'm playing then end up in a long and interesting discussion on writing, lgbtq+ representation, and why strong stories matter.

Big thanks to @dualnames.bsky.social for dropping by. It's always a blast.
