Hello there!

I'm a developer who makes a variety of games using Unreal Engine, the majority of my games are Game Jam games of varying qualities, but Skye's Repose, Holodefense, and Random Access Matrix are the main games I've spent time and effort on, the biggest of which is Skye's Repose.

Skye's Repose is a cozy game taking inspiration from Stardew Valley, Myst, and Slime Rancher, set in a mysterious world of islands in the clouds.  Find and farm materials, meet new friends and help them through their struggles, and explore and uncover the secrets that left these lands empty and sealed away...  This is my main project, and where all my effort is right now.

Holodefense is a Hololive fan game, a tower defense where you stop the Takodachi from freeing whatever's been locked away in the void.  I kept the scope small so I could actually finish it by summer's end.  (and then failed by one update which took 2 months.) It's now feature-complete, and the final major update is released to play!  I may continue the story in the future, but this is a good ending here.

Random Access Memory is a metroidvania designed around a randomizer to distribute the items and ensure each playthrough is a unique challenge. I spent a few months working on something similar in school, proceeded to branch off to my own project, and eventually got burnt out and decided I didn't want to work on a metroidvania after only having played two to completion before.  And finding Skye's Repose so much more fun to make and play.

I don't update this page often, so if you want more up-to-date info, or if you want to see my cats, check out my Discord: https://discord.gg/ZkXMZRP3w6
