ReCoil - A game about the desperate, never-ending
struggle to save reality from a force which intends to destroy
it. The players take the roles of "Agents", spirits of the
deceased recruited in this battle, who return to the mortal Coil
to do battle with the minions of "Oblivion".

Rats in the Walls - Imagine, if you will, that time is an
endless hallway, down which humanity walks. This hallway is only
one way; Behind you walks everyone you have been, and ahead into
who you might be is the only place you can go.
Now imagine if the walls of
this endless hallway had rats. Rats in the Walls of Time itself.
They scurry back where no man can go, and their chewing and
tampering could change the flow of time

Mage Blade - Explore a world of magic and adventure,
taking charge of your own story and setting your own goals.
Perhaps this section should be titled "Chronically In
Development". Mage Blade is my magnum opus. It stands astride my
more traditional roleplaying desires and the awesome indie
community techniques and ideas I've become exposed to over the
years. |

Blood on the Sand - Working title for a Riddle of Steel
mini-supplement, better known as TRoS: Gladiators. Blood on the
Sand uses the basic combat mechanic of The Riddle of Steel and
wraps a whole new game idea around it. Gladiators is not
intended to be a roleplaying game; instead it aims to be more of
a table-top strategy game, incorporating elements of resource
management, time management, strategic movement, and the gritty
combat that is so characteristic of The Riddle of Steel.
It has been on hold for quite some time, and doesn't stand much
of a chance of being resurrected any time really soon, at least
until I can figure out what the current legal status of such a
product would be.Apex
- This is a superhero game I was working on a while back. I lost
a good deal of progress when I carelessly allowed my flashdrive
to be stolen, and though I was able to recover some of the work,
some of the specific techniques I was working on are gone. This
was disheartening, so the game has been shelved until such time
as I feel the urge to work on it further. |

Pente - This is a boardgame
in the same style as Go, in that it is played with beads or
stones on a grid. The object is to get 5 of your color stones in
a row, or to capture 5 sets of your opponents' stones. It can be
played with 2-4 players, and the strategy differs noticeably
based on how many players there are. I have been working on a
computerized version of the game for the last week or so, and at
this point, I have a reasonably complete program. It handles 2,3
or 4 players in a hotseat style, and allows you to pick the
color of your stones. At some point in the near future, I'm
going to try my hand at making it work over LAN or TCP/IP.

Mage Wars (Magestorm clone) -
Years ago on AOL I played this fantasy first-person shooter
based on the Magestorm license from Rolemaster. Your
character gained levels and learned new spells, and it was based
on a three-way battle to gain resource points and assault your
enemies' shrines. For a small community, it was probably the
best game on the planet.
Years later, people are still
reminiscing fondly about this game. I am one of those, hence I
tried to recreate it using Game Maker. I made some significant
and exciting process until it came time to start implementing
the online portion, where I ran into problem after problem. As
of now, I am not entirely sure my skills as a programmer or my
skills with Game Maker are sufficient to make this game work, so
it is currently shelved, and will be for the foreseeable future.
My apologies to those who were getting excited about my
progress. |
