Software Development With A Mind Of Its Own
We make small, strange browser games: trading sims run by dogs, roguelikes built by the people playing them, and whatever else looks fun that week. Everything here is free to play in your browser.
5 in the wild, all playable in a browser.
Run contraband in a world where dogs make the rules.
Paw Wars takes place in a world where dogs are the ruling class and cats are treated as lower class citizens. Luxury items are strictly forbidden, but a black market persists. You take on the role of a smuggler trying to provide contraband to cats in need. Travel the world buying and selling, dodge the police, and hustle to get rich or die trying.
An online roguelike where every level is player made.
Loot Mountain is an online roguelike where all the levels are player created. Climb toward the summit while avoiding danger and collecting cards, then build levels of your own to stump other players and take their money. Loot Mountain is in early access and under active development, so not every feature is wired up yet.
Two marbles, a top, and two pins walk into a lane.
Knock-A-Round is an async portrait lane battler. Configure two marbles, a spinning top, and two pins, then a deterministic seeded sim settles the match headlessly while the frontend replays it with effects. Play PvP against other players through a small server that resolves matches authoritatively, or go offline against locally-rolled opponents when there's no connection. Unlock animal-themed marbles, alien-themed tops, and a growing set of surfaces, fields, and obstacles, then take your loadout into tournaments. It's early access and still under active development.
Nail the word, nail the drive.
Fairway Enough is word association golf. Before each swing you're given a fuzzy prompt, and how well your answer matches it determines how much power you get behind the ball. Everything else plays like a normal round of golf. It's early access and still under active development.
A city that builds itself, one isometric tile at a time.
This proof of concept uses Phaser.js to procedurally generate a diverse cityscape out of isometric tiles. Use the arrow keys to roam around and watch quiet residential blocks give way to dense commercial sprawl. There's a live demo on the GitHub page.
Not games, but they came out of the same workshop.
My go-to source for getting started on a new project. It has all the things I like baked in so I can move fast. It even powers this website.
