A game about trying to live as a person of color
****WARNING****This game contains rapidly flashing lights in some scenes.
This game is an attempt to provide some window into what life is like living as a person of color and interacting with the police. It is not fun, and will not make you laugh. However, I do hope that you find it meaningful or insightful in some way. Thanks for playing.

A game I made for some lovely friends of mine. I am really happy with the result, and think it's worth including in my public portfolio.
This is a first person exploration game, set in a 1950s American Diner. There's lots of things to look at and touch. Sit down in a booth and take in some music from the jukebox.

Mini Golf Master is a very serious mini golf game. Too serious, in fact. Ridiculous, even. It's a mini golf game made for hardcore golfers who like the Masters and other PGA tournaments. Or for those who kind of like golf, and want to have a good laugh at the formality of it all. Features Photorealistic Graphics(TM), rich stereo sound effects, and a modern user interface. Available now on 15x1.44MB Floppy diskettes, or CD-ROM.
I made the game with some of my old favourites in mind. Basically, this is an homage to the "Requires SVGA, comes on too many 1.4" diskettes"-era games from the likes of Accolade and other early PC game companies. I had a blast back then, and I had a blast making this now. I hope you enjoy it.
This game was made as an entry for the Nov-Dec 2012 tigsource compo/jam. Here's my game development thread, and "finished game" post.
This game is a themed, per the Ludum Dare 48 rules. The theme here was "Evolution". This game takes (several liberties with) Richard Dawkins' theory of memetics, and how our society's genetics (or memes, as it were) are pretty screwed up. The game takes place sometime in the future after the apocolypse. Richard Dawkins is now a ghost but guides you to collect up all the good memes (bits of culture) left in the world, so that you can restore society to what it once was. You must fight evil foes such as reality TV stars and socialites to take back our culture and rebuild the world.

This is just a simple platformer in which you have to collect coins and not die. It was made in ~2 evenings as a warmup game for Ludum Dare #24.
Just wanted to shake some rust off and focus on: Decent controls/movement, a core mechanic/goal, and play with a consistent color palette and tileset (Hint: PURPLE.)
My ham-handed attempted at making an FPS for the 7dfps.org challenge. It's late, and nothing special. But it's my first go at Unity3D, so huzzah I learned something. And had fun.
Exactly what you think it is. A very easy and fun paddle and ball game. 2 Player paddle game with local multiplayer or cpu controlled paddles. I am missing LD23, so I wanted to make something this past weekend instead :)
An 8-bit-ey arcade style shoot 'em up game where you defend a hospital against zombie infestation! See how long you can last against the endless waves of flesh hungry monsters. Beware, once they infect the hospital you are really in for it. Fun bonuses for conservation of health, ammo, and taking out zombies with style.
I made a new trailer for the Itch.io Launch. Visit the full game page for details!
This game is a themed game, per the Ludum Dare 48 rules. The theme here was "Alone". This game looks at the concept of a person's preference for being alone (introversion), or never being alone (extroversion). While I know the science and exact nature of these things is not captured in the game, but the game is meant to be funny too. In short, you select your "alone" preference then play through day (office) and night (city/street) cycles. You must carefully balance your anxiety and energy levels, while striving to be understood by those around you. The more anxious you are and the less energy you have, the more likely you will be misunderstood. At the end of the day (you're understoood, or too anxious), you get to recharge in the way you like. The goal of the night cycle is to lower your anxiety and raise your energy for the next day. Failure to do this means you won't be understood, and ultimately your self worth and lonliness will increase. If your self worth goes too low, you will die. Boy did I make that sound boring. HAH :)

This is java-based OO 2D game engine/framework I started working on about 2 and a half years ago (damn.), and I just never got around to finishing it up into something worth sharing as a game. I still want to come back to it and do something fun with it, but for now it's just an experiment that has some good features and robustness and some flaws. Please download the code and play with it. Make something cool if you want, or just flame about how the game tick clock is not functioning correctly or whatever you want. It's pretty well organized, and things make sense for the most part. There are lots of comments and stuff, and a changelog so poke around and let me know if you can't figure out what's going on.
All source code (include the broken stuff and likely some curse words) available "as is" for free, right here.
A very basic utility thing that shows you what buttons do what in game maker when using an xbox usb controller for windows. This download includes both the exe and the game maker 8.1 file so you can use if for your own games. If you use this, credit is certainly appreciated :) Enjoy!
A very simple "game" which includes a skydiver falling to earth and a working alti :) Use arrows to control the skydiver, and press space when it's pull time. Someday I'd like to elaborate on this and make a real game out of it. For now, it's just the product of a couple hours fun and geekery.
A sample game demonstrating a very basic 2D tile-based colored lighting system. Allows for variable light radius, hue, and saturation. There's also a sample flickering campfire effect.
A sample game demonstrating a basic camera shake effect. It's really basic so feel free to tweak the movement distances, timings, etc. for your self. Press 'S' to shake (high tech, right?).
Just a dead simple tutorial/sample to demonstrate a basic game menu with frozen game screen in behind
Just a simple tutorial/sample to show how easing/tweening works.
Tweening functions are from this tigforums post. Thanks to Gabriel Verdon (@gabrielverdon, http://gabrielverdon.com) for porting the functions!
A very simple game maker sample that shows how easy it is to switch to arbitrary rooms using indices and room names.
You get kidnapped by bad guys and they want to drop you from a helicopter into the ocean. You steal 2 guns (acquisition mechanic/sequence unfinished) and shoot back at them as you fall. They then try to kill you because you're trying to kill them, and happy fun arcade times happen. Or something.
