Crossword Dungeon

Crossword Dungeon

Crossword Dungeon is a lite dungeon crawler RPG for iOS and Android, in which you make your way through a series of dungeon levels made up of crosswords.

Most letters are guarded by monsters, some with special abilities, which you must defeat in order to proceed: guess the correct letter for a critical hit, or trade blows with the monster if incorrect.

Level up your brusque Barbarian, intrepid Ranger, or wily Scoundrel, choosing special abilities along the way, to claim victory at the depths of the dungeon!

Guildmaster

Guildmaster

Guildmaster: A Hero Management Sim is a party and inventory management-focused game currently under development for PC/Mac.

Build and upgrade buildings in town to attract a variety of unique heroes, each with their own stats, skills, special traits, and equipment.

Heroes fight on their own accord, so it is up to you to lead them to quest locations, equip them well, train and resupply them in town, and optimize their parties' balance, in order to keep them alive and looting.

The Color Guessing Game

The Color Guessing Game

The Color Guessing Game is a simple browser-based game which challenges you to enter as many color names as possible within 1 minute.

Score big points with rare colors, the rarer the better!

The color database is manually curated to add new and exotic colors on a regular basis: if a color you guess is not recognized, "Assign" it to a swatch after the round ends.

Dance of Death

Dance of Death

Dance of Death is a traditional ASCII roguelike, playable in your browser.

Create a custom or random character, then use your keyboard to navigate the procedurally generated wilderness areas as you make your way to and through the procedurally generated dungeon.

Fight monsters, equip loot, and stave off hunter in your pursuit of the evil ogre.

This once overly ambitious project hasn't been updated in a few years, though there is certainly a chance the traditional ASCII roguelike development bug bites me once again, at which point I might resume or reboot it.

The Adventurer's Guild

The Adventurer's Guild

The Adventurer's Guild is a traditional ASCII roguelike built for the 2012 7-day-roguelike (7DRL) challenge, also playable in your browser.

Given the very limited timeline of the challenge, I experimented with two elements, leaving the rest fairly straightforward: controlling a party of mercenary heroes and managing their pay.

I was inspired by some beautiful ASCII art and roguelike concepts to also put together some character portraits for your heroes.

Chronophase

Chronophase

Chronophase is a simple, turn-based, ASCII roguelike-like built for the 2010 4-day-roguelike (4DRL) challenge, also playable in your browser.

Given the extreme time constraints of this challenge, I focused on putting together a very simple game in which projectiles move as you do and a ship's ASCII "tiles" serve as its hit points.

Petri Dish

Petri Dish

Petri Dish: The Extinction of Color is a multiplayer territory control game put together by the Rage Quit ragtag band of mercenaries in the 2011 Global Game Jam.

During this non-stop 48-hour jam we met, conceptualized, designed, programmed, and put together the art and custom sounds and music for this PC game, built loosely on the theme of "extinction".
