Oh, Shit!

Oh, Shit!

Demo projects
Play Oh, Shit! [Alpha] on itch.io Due to scaling issues, I recommend you play the game on itch.io. "Oh, Shit! is a fast-paced vertical platformer about one very unlucky pilot trying to escape a planet that's about to be destroyed. The only way out is up." Okay, enough of the fluff. This game is an experiment with a vertical platformer, along with my wanting to write some unsanitised text (it's just the character swearing). As such, a lot of the graphics are just stand-ins and not at all final, and there may be a few bugs. Please feel free to leave feedback. I'll continue to update the game. IMPORTANT NOTES: The game is only playable in-browser. There is no sound or music in the alpha version. Keyboard and mouse controls for…

And I Feel Fine

And I Feel Fine

Demo projects
Play And I Feel Fine, A Biosphere Game [Alpha] on itch.io Due to scaling issues, I recommend you play the game on itch.io. And I Feel Fine is a tiny tower-building and survival game. You have 3 days to save 50 residents from an impending cataclysm by balancing food, water, and energy. The game will receive future updates to add more gameplay depth, better integrate rain, and Resident interactions. However, while it's nowhere near perfect, it's a great reminder to myself about the games I want to build versus the games that I can build. IMPORTANT NOTES: The game is only playable in-browser. There is no sound or music in the alpha version. Keyboard and mouse controls for playing in-browser: 0 - Cancel current action 3 - Normal game speed P - Pause H -…

Star Trek: Assimilation Denied

Star Trek: Assimilation Denied

Demo projects
Play Star Trek: Assimilation Denied (fan game) on itch.io Due to scaling issues, I recommend you play the game on itch.io. Welcome to my first-ever fan game, Star Trek: Assimilation Denied. I was inspired by the GameMaker tutorial – Make Your Own Arcade Space Shooter – and I didn't like the basic theme, so I decided to add in a nondescript Federation ship as the player's ship. I liked the idea so much that I decided to turn it into a Star Trek fan game about shooting the Borg. Defeat as many Borg ships as possible. Due to the Borg's Adaptive Shield Matrix, you will need to switch between using your ship's Phaser I and II weapons. Only Phaser I can damage Borg Cubes, and only Phaser II can damage Borg Spheres. You can use…

Home, Again

Home, Again

Demo projects
Play Home, Again on itch.io Due to scaling issues, I recommend you play the game on itch.io. Home, Again is a short, science fiction visual novel about Mallory, a weary spacefarer tired of the endless search for a place to call home while her crewmates perish. Originally based on my script Journey to the Crimson World (a long-revised part of my writing portfolio), this game brings the story to life with visuals and interactivity, offering a different perspective on Mallory's journey. The dialogue choices will affect several dialogue sections, and an invisible karma system determines three different endings. I am unsure if I will ever turn this into a full story or game. It is, after all, just a slice of something potentially larger. NOTE: The game is currently only…

The Gaunt: Broken

The Gaunt: Broken

Demo projects
Play The Gaunt on itch.io Not working? Play the game here on itch.io. The Gaunt is a small, narrative-driven RPG set in a world out of time. Play as The Traveller, a character forced to visit this world as a stop-gap on a greater journey. I created it as a portfolio project to showcase my writing skills. The splash screen and title screen state "Beyond Jupiter Games," a faux game studio I created for the project. You can see my full name in the credits. I created the game with several criteria in mind, namely: It must be built in GB Studio. There is only a two-colour palette (because I'm terrible at art). The game can be completed in under 30 minutes. It includes very basic quests, controls, and battle…
