It’s been exactly two years since the first public test release of what would become Ascension III. And although the last few months have been slow going, in general we’ve come a long, long way. The new demo is basically just a rollup, incorporating both the previous Island and Dragon demos as well as the… Read more »
RiftBreak is my entry this year to So Bad It’s Good Jam. This is the fourth year in a row I’ve done that jam, and this year was a huge success with over 70 entries, twice as much as any other year. RiftBreak took fourth place, which I’m quite proud of considering the number of… Read more »

Heavy Metal Slug is a 2.5D fan remake of Metal Slug, created for the Old Games Remaster jam! I put this together in about a week, and it was an interesting experience outside of my usual faire. I managed to get about 80% of what I was shooting for implemented, though I really consider this… Read more »

Beach Defend 2000 is my entry to So Bad It’s Good Jam this year. It’s a turret shooter inspired by Beachhead 2000, Gunner, and other similar games of the late 90s and early 2000s.
