Short Stories
Encroaching Night is a short horror story about two people driving through a world that is slowly disappearing around them. As the cold and darkness close in, small details begin to reveal what is happening and how little time they have left.Encroaching NightWe drove for hours without stopping.My limbs had grown tired and sore sometime during the drive, but I couldn't remember when. My hands gripped the steering wheel as I forced myself through the pain.The headlights did their best to cut the encroaching darkness, and a dim blue hue hung around us. We pushed on as the car's heater did nothing to dull the coldness.I watched as she reached out and poked the air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror. Her hands were encased in several gloves to keep…

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 -…
