Work

Since 2012, across a lot of domains.

Some favourites, oldest client first.

Five screens from the OCR Buddy app: a race calendar, an event detail view and the main menu.

  • Terrain that deforms as you cross it
  • Component-level damage modelling
  • All art, UI and mechanics in-house

Commercial

Loo Loo’s Alphabet

Whisper Productions · Children’s learning app

An alphabet app that adapts to the child using it, then went into a university study to prove it worked.

  • Difficulty read from response time and answer patterns
  • A gentle upward curve rather than fixed levels
  • Tested live with children, in schools and at events

Website Published study

Tic Stac Toe

Suspect · Multiplayer game

We took a prototype to a fully ranked multiplayer game, and wrote the server behind it.

  • Live play, asynchronous turns, global ranking
  • AI opponents to carry a young player base
  • Accounts and chat across platforms
  • Generated share images for the campaigns

The app is no longer published; the physical game is still going. The trailer shows the version we built.

Business automation

American Aeronautic MFG · Internal tooling

We automated a paper-and-spreadsheet workflow from inside the tools they already used, rather than selling them a system to maintain.

  • Scripted into their existing spreadsheets
  • Cut the errors that were costing real money
  • Supported through testing and rollout

Shepherd Slaughter

Blindhack · Roguelike

Our first release, and the reason the company exists — we shipped it the year we founded.

  • Procedural dungeons, monsters and a boss fortress
  • Python and SDL2, sped up with Cython
  • Archived on RogueBasin and the Internet Archive

The stores it launched on no longer exist. A modern re-release is not off the table.
