Currently building Timeless

Welcome to my brain. Mind the wires!

Roguelikes, physics simulations, neural evolution, and whatever else I get curious about at 2am. Self-taught since 2023. All of it gets written about here. WELCOME FRIENDS, LET’S GET CURIOUS!

The work I’d show first

My big three. If you only look at one thing here, make it one of these!

Timeless

What if your health bar was a clock? That’s Timeless. You don’t lose hit points, you lose TIME, and when it runs out so do you. So playing it safe is actually how you die! Custom engine, custom room editor, 43,000 lines, and three bosses who each break a rule the game just spent an hour teaching you. I’ll be honest, I should have made this game in a known engine (Unity, Godot, etc), but it was far too late and I’ve learned more than I could ever dream. This game is still being worked on by me and my talented, amazing girlfriend. She hand drew all of the art in the game. Yes, that’s why it looks so good.

Made in Kind

You wake up in a robot body on an Earth that AIs have kept turning long after humans disappeared. A giant stag-shaped AI with antlers of light hides you from the others and becomes your best friend. Together you have to save the world from AIs falling into humanity’s worst habits. First person, solarpunk, ULTRAKILL-fast fights, and many ways through every problem. Greedy players get stronger... but at what cost?

MISSION C.H.I.P.L.E.R.

Have you ever wanted to grow a whole colony from ONE little guy? A single Chipler crash-lands on a tiny round planet, copies himself (the copies come out a little different!) and slowly turns into a busy colony with farms, forges and even a railway. Meanwhile Empress Chippa keeps calling on the radio with orders. Ship them, or say no and see how she feels about it! It’s cozy and pastel, and every bit of it is built in code in Godot.
