One Too Many (and two other games)

It’s been more than a year since the last one, so it’s once again time for an exquisite corpse’d PuzzleScript game from the Thinky Puzzle Games Discord. Or rather, three games! We were split into three groups with the same seed project to each take the game in our own direction, with the organizer later […]

I feel like I’m watching one of my games slowly become a meme (not derogatorily)

A year and a half ago, I threw together a game called The Sorcerer’s Detritus real quick like for a game jam in the Thinky Puzzle Games Discord. It’s a game where you control a magician’s hat that accidentally falls into the sewer, and you have to get back out. The original concept of the […]

Hyper’Rinth

I was scrolling through new releases on the Switch eShop last night when I noticed there’s a digital version of the board game Labyrinth, which I was obsessed with as a kid: So obsessed that I made a reduced version of it in HyperCard, which I recorded a little video of: https://twitter.com/CHz16/status/1713681323582456074 I remember being […]

Happy 10th birthday, PuzzleScript!

(this was a response to a post on cohost by Alan Hazelden announcing the tenth anniversary of PuzzleScript) I’ve been making games since the ’90s with HyperCard, and even posting them online since college, but PuzzleScript’s release in 2013 was really when I started releasing games in a way beyond just uploading them to my […]

Chiaroscuro

Another Games Done Quick marathon means another game jam I participate in, and I made a real video game this time! It’s slightly cryptic and experimental and might look like a puzzle game, but the levels are randomly generated and personally it feels better to me to think of it as a strategic game about […]

Blast One Standing

So the Thinky Puzzle Games Discord just released the latest in our series of exquisite corpse-style PuzzleScript games where the organizer starts with a small seed and a bunch of us get the game one after another and add a little bit to it: a level, a new mechanic, some polish, some writing, etc. This […]

Saṃsāra

So sometimes I make things? Game-related things?? And I could post about them here too??? So for the traditional Games Done Quick game jam I always try to do something for, I made a small pack of levels for Lexy’s Labyrinth, a Chip’s Challenge 2 emulator by eevee with some custom elements. She plugged it […]

“Adding Some Spice to Your Marriage”

I’ve participated in two game jams this year and released two games! The first jam was during Awesome Games Done Quick 2017, and for it I made Composition. Which is… weird. We’ll go with weird. The second was a horny game jam during February, and for it I made Adding Some Spice to Your Marriage, […]

“TIS-100” Journal

Here’s a series of posts about my solutions for puzzles in the parallel architecture assembly code game TIS-100 by Zachtronics. This isn’t a walkthrough: there are surely better places you can go for help than here. And it’s certainly not me showing off how I’m the best programmer alive: most of these are just the […]

“Ergo”

Let’s get the business out of the way first; the rest of this post will be a rambly mess, but we’ll get things done here above the line. I have a “new” browser game! “New” in quotation marks because it’s something I 80% finished eight years ago and then 95% finished four years ago, and […]
