CANON

CANON is my current RPG project that blends strategic turn-based JRPG combat with the split second decision making of beloved 90's fighting games.

You play as a little skeleton fella who wakes up in the far future, only remembering the vaguest of things about the world before. Embark on an epic Cowboy Quest in search of lost memories, and stop a doomsday resurrection cult helmed by an ex-lover.

Meet a plethora of memorable friends and foes; Mutants, dropouts, cyborgs, outlaws, ghosts, antireal fungal spirits, Fistfight, giant lizards, sentient buildings, and NERDS!

Are you a bad enough dude to choose hope in the face of evil?

Development started: June 30, 2025
Release: TBA

Mask of Balance logo

Mask of Balance is a short puzzle platformer I made with my friend Ryan for Global Game Jam 2026.

The Jam had the theme "mask", so we ran with the concept of a mask (a literal artifact) and "to mask" (change perception of something) to make a short and sweet challenging platformer.

My favourite element, and the one I'm most proud of, is the balanced health system. Instead of dying when your health hits zero, you die when your health fills up with either of the two damage types. Increasing one damage type means lowering the other, so you need to keep it balanced.

It's very short and very free, definitely check it out.

^ Someone actually played it :D ^
