Ascension Series Chart
It’s looking almost like a real series! Some of the people I talked to were confused about how the Ascension series went together, so I made this to clear things up a bit.

posh-adventure
posh-adventure is a game for bored sysadmins. You are Sir Nigel Fawlett, and you have an appointment for tea with Lord Trealey. Of course, it’s not as easy as simply walking from Point A to Point B. This is the first (or close to the first) RPG written in PowerShell. It includes leveling, combat, and… Read more »
The Future of the Ascension Series
So, it’s time for a bit of a confession and a bit of a rant. I had grand visions for the Ascension series. One new game every two years. Leaps in scale and quality with each installment. Ascension was a text adventure, Ascension 2 was a 2D RPG. Ascension III would have been an epic… Read more »
Firefighter Simulator 2016 Now Released!
Firefighter Simulator 2016 is a very serious game that brings a realistic simulation of firefighting to PC using state-of-the-art technology to make the experience engrossing and impactful. Okay, that’s a complete and utter lie. Firefighter Simulator 2016 is an absurd parody of a game that really has very little to do with firefighters except for… Read more »
CyberShield
CyberShield is a retro, arcade-style 3D shooter that blends elements of classic arcade games, oldschool first-person-shooters, and tower defense games. You must defend a central tower against waves of attackers in a cyberspace setting. This is a game jam game, so there it’s fairly short and not entirely polished, but I think it turned out… Read more »
Firefighter Simulator 2016 – Preview Available
Firefighter Simulator 2016 is now at the point where a meaningful beta can be released. It’s not polished, and has about two thirds of the levels that will be in the final game. You can download it from the itch.io page.
Firefighter Simulator 2016
Firefighter Simulator 2016 is my latest project. It’s a simulator game about firefighters… in the same way Surgeon Simulator is a realistic simulation of surgery. I’m doing something a bit different this time and posting primarily on itch instead of here. The description and pictures may indicate otherwise, but this is a real game.
Parrotgame!
A small game for a club I participate in. Parrotgame (we’re not great with names) is a sidescroller where you are a messenger parrot that must deliver a critical message in wartime, literally dodging bullets along the way. It uses libGDX and I wrote most of the code. Check it out on itch.io or grab… Read more »
Ascension 2 is out now!
Ascension 2 has been a long time coming, and I’m very excited to finally release it to the world. It’s been quite the effort, and it’s changed quite a bit through the course of development. It’s not perfect and I’ll be the first to admit it, but I think it’s worth playing. It’s free, and… Read more »
Ascension 2 – Almost there!
The bad news is that Ascension 2 will not launch by the end of 2015. The good news is that it will be out by the end of January 2016. In the meantime, feel free to try the beta. So what’s the story with the delay? At this point, the game is done- at least,… Read more »
