A 2D Dungeon crawler where your mouse movements control your weapons! The concept and art for this game are by Sam and Peter Foster. Music and sound by Brett Coop.
Alberta Jam 2019 entry for the theme "What Lies Below". Sarah (wife) did the art and some design. I wasn't planning on participating in this jam but I saw the prompt and it got my wheels turning. The entire game was produced in a very short amount of time (less than 10 hours) which was neat. Another day of polish would have been great but I think we are going for a hike instead.

Made for GMTK Jam 2019 with the theme "Only One". I would have loved to spend a month polishing up this game but alas that's not how game jams work. You only have one energy crystal so you can only use one system (press one button at a time). Can you fly your ship out of danger?

Peter Foster and Brett Coop helped me put together this little game for Lor Rez Jam 2016. The requirement was to build a game in 64 by 64 pixels. I had big dreams and not much time but was able to get something together.

I had a chance to do Global Game Jam 2015 (themed "What do we do now?") with the very talented Danniel Linnsen and we managed this fun little 4 player game.

This Ludum Dare I made a game that crashed and burned and wasn't going to finish so I switched from the 48 hour solo competition to the 72 hour team competition and made this in that last day. Sam and Peter Foster helped with sound, music, and art. It's a bit of a strech for the theme "An Unconventional Weapon" but the collecting and upgrades work well and I would love to polish and release this game.

You are strapped into a chair, you must jiggle yourslef free, but don't cause the precariously balanced bomb to fall while your at it. Another Ludum Dare 48 hour Game, this is their 27th competition. "Action Movie : The Game" has everything you could ever want in a game, explosions, fast cars, and escapes. All of it crammed into the theme of "10 Seconds."

Moon Bus is a 4 player arcade style game about driving a bus on the moon. This is my first complete game which I have put up for sale.

This is a game designed to replicate sailboat racing. There is no collision detection and you are expected to apply the racing rules of sailing verbally. Up to 5 people can play on the same keyboard, as the only controls are turn left or turn right. Since most keyboards can only handle 4 simultaneous key presses this does result in some key blocking but this has become an accepted part of the game. One of the biggest comments on this game is that it should have wind shadows where one sail blocks wind on another sail.

This is an arcade style game I worked on with my buddy Ryan where 4 players fight for gold. The game is currently on hold but I may pick it up again in the future. The next big feature is to add ship upgrades where the gold may be spent. Playtesting for this game was very positive.
This is my entry in my first Ludum Dare (48 coding competition). Yes, some of the art is horrible but I ran out of time! There are three ways to die: by colliding with the rocks, by getting shot by a cannon, and by being shot by musket fire. The musket shot death happens if you sail too close to the ship, though there is no good indicator of this and I feel the game would be better without it. Game Download
This is a group project I worked on for Global Game Jam 2011 (48 hour time limit). You can use an xbox 360 controller to control two seperate points of the group of critters, this allows you to stretch them out into a line and move that line in any direction. I wrote most of the code that controls how the critters move. If we had more time we would have added in some obstacles that showcase the interesting control scheme. Videos and Game Download
This is a group project I worked on for Global Game Jam 2012 (48 hour time limit). You are a snake and you wrap around the prey to "eat" them. It is basically a glorified version of the old snake game. We were going to make it similar to Katamari Damace where the larger you get the larger the prey you can eat, but after spending a day sorting out problems with our tools we ran out of time.
