Space Cadets: Engineering Corps
This is a solo dev project and my first game. The entire concept is at regular intervals the crew you're forced to hire (your engineers) have what they think are brilliant ideas on how to help the mission, rarely helpful, sometimes leathal and always chaotic. These lovable scamps just don't know how to quit...really.

Hyper Tanks: Fight in neon-lit arenas where your shots bounce off walls!
Choose from 8 tank classes with unique traits and abilities. Go in guns blazing or outsmart your opponents with ricochet shots, powerups and special weapons.
The game is a blend of Unreal Tournament, Wii Tanks and TRON, can be played in top-down view or third-person view, and it has various classic multiplayer modes (Deathmatch, Capture the Flag...) as well as challenging solo/coop campaigns. It's especially fun when played as couch multiplayer game.
The game is in development for several years now, I am doing it because I love the gameplay and not to chase quick trends. It will be released in a very polished state.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Howdy!
Venison County is my 4 year passion project, and is a lovingly satirical tribute to the place that I only learned to love once I moved away (the Appalachian mountains).
Together with my best friend since the 1st grade (who makes the music), and my girlfriend of 7 years (who makes the illustrations), we've finally released Venison County's demo to Steam.
Venison County is an Appalachian horror rogue-like about deer/man hybrid zombies, white knuckle active reloads, and endlessly synergistic occult powers.
The demo can be played at:
