My entry to the 95th #GodotWildJam is up! This one's just a perfectly normal platformer...

...except you can only run backwards.

Atop, my entry to the ninety-fourth Godot Wild Jam, is now up! It's a little bit of Mario and a little bit of Zelda, with an artstyle inspired by the works of Katsuya Terada.

Malistar, a PICO-8 reimagining of 1983's Sinistar, is out now! We spent a lot of time tweaking and tuning this one to ensure that it had the intensity of its forebear, without being quite as murderously difficult. I hope you enjoy it!

The "absurdly well-polished", "clear stand-out" of #Madvent5 is now out as a standalone game! Quantum Reindeer is a frantic, festive shoot-'em-up with a fully voice-acted script and oodles of challenge.

My game, Quantum Reindeer, is entry №7 in #Madvent5! It's a scrolling shooter with a twist: you must switch between four reindeer, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, while delivering presents to the nice and coal to the naughty.

The results are in, and the people have spoken: Xenolith is a pretty neat idea.

And what's more, it's an idea with plenty of potential still untapped... so we're going to get tapping. Feel free to follow if you'd like to hear about that when it happens!

#LudumDare #gamedev #GodotEngine

My entry to the #LudumDare58 Compo is now up! In Xenolith, you must pick up the baton from those who played the game before you, and make a little progress before you hand over the reins yourself...

Because the game only lets you play it once.

Day 1 of #LudumDare58 is complete! I'm working on a collectathon with a twist: you can only play the game once, and yet, it's impossible to complete in a single sitting. Each player will have to pass on what they've learned to the next if anyone is to finish the game.

My entry to the 84th #GodotWildJam is up! And it's a bit of a throwback - it's a remake of a game I made six years ago. This time, I focused on animating the creatures and the world around them - there are some neat moments in there!

I know it's usually not a good idea to spend a significant chunk of your limited time during a game jam working on a setpiece moment... but setpiece moments are really fun to work on!

My entry to #GMTK2025 is up! The Loop Resort is a game about running a hotel... IN SPACE!
