Welcome to my collection of random gamesiness.

During 2018 and 2019, I spent 20 months working full time on GRITS Racing which is an all-out effort at a bona-fide indie release, and which is currently in Early Access on Steam.  I still work on it during my off months between gigs.

I suppose I'm best known for my patches to MissionForce: CyberStorm and 3·D Ultra Minigolf which won me the internet (according to some creative commenters on YouTube).

I released the Pogo Game Engine for Flutter in April 2020, and Godot Firebase Lite for Godot in June 2021.  Since then, my browser-based multiplayer game prototype, Sendit Soccer, has perhaps been getting the most attention.
