Personal Projects
Moustachevania (PC/Mac)
Game design, art direction, programming, sound design, and music – yup, I did it all. A metroidvania for hardcore platforming fans. Released for free as an unfinished proof-of-concept, along with source code and soundtrack.
Political satire idle game. A small project made in my spare time over about six weeks. Can be completed in about two hours, and is free.
An overhaul of the gameplay from Blob Catcher, changing it into a completely different experience.
Secret Mystery Project
Combat design and prototyping, including programming, on a mystery project that I can’t share more details about.
My unfinished attempt at a mobile free-to-play idle/RPG hybrid. Available to play for free in your web browser!
A cute but difficult hyper-casual game.
Doom 2 Level: Fork and Knife In The Road
The realization of a lifelong dream: To publicly release a Doom 2 level.
An hour-long journey into insanity. An epic single-level adventure.
Monster Stew (PC/Mac – Game Jam game)
The theme was “combine two incompatible genres,” so I made an FPS/cooking game where you have to kill monsters, pick up their bodies, and throw them into a stew. Download it here.

I contributed a level to the Bluesky Map Jam (for Doom 2) – Read More
