Solo game dev in Austin, TX. I build small 2D games in Godot 4 and draw the art myself in Aseprite, usually at 16x16, because that is the biggest canvas I can actually finish in one sitting.

Time-poor, idea-rich. The ideas folder is currently winning 41 to 3.

Most of what I put here is jam leftovers that turned out to be useful on their own: a movement controller I keep re-typing, a palette I keep re-importing, a build script I keep re-writing at 1am. Now they have a home.

• Godot 4.x — every project ships from here. GL Compatibility renderer, so builds run on the ten-year-old laptop under my desk.
• GDScript — statically typed where it helps, class_name on anything I reuse more than twice.
• Aseprite — sprites, tilesets, palettes. 16-colour ramps by default.
• Python 3 — the glue: sheet packing, palette linting, zipping builds for itch uploads.
• Tiled — only when a level outgrows hand-placed tiles in the editor.
• Git and GitHub — one branch, small commits, no ceremony.
• Audacity — placeholder sound effects made with my own mouth. Sorry.

jam-bunny A minimal Godot 4 hop-and-collect scene: variable-height jump, floaty hang time, squash-and-stretch on takeoff. The skeleton I start every jam from.

pixel-pals My 16-colour Aseprite palette plus a Python packer that turns a folder of frames into a sprite sheet and atlas, and yells at any pixel that drifted off-palette.

gdscript-utils Three dependency-free GDScript helpers I copy into every project: a tiny state machine, a cooldown timer, and the math functions Godot does not ship with.

godot-shaders Three 2D shaders I re-typed across too many jams before I accepted they deserved a repo: an outline shader for selection and glow, a palette-swap shader for character variants without duplicate sprites, and a dissolve shader for death animations that does not need an external noise texture.

sfx-kitchen A zero-dependency Python script that generates game SFX from basic waveforms with ADSR envelopes and frequency sweeps. Exists because my mouth is not a synthesizer, no matter how much Audacity insists it could be.

Prototyping a one-room dungeon crawler where the room rotates instead of the player. It is either a good idea or a motion sickness lawsuit. Progress is slow and mostly happens on weekends.

Also slowly porting my old jam entries off a dying external drive, so a few repos here will look suspiciously like 2019 code. They are.

GitHub only. Open an issue on the relevant repo and I will get to it, usually within a few days. Pull requests are welcome on anything tagged good first issue, and honestly on anything else too, as long as it keeps the zero-dependency rule.

I do not do email, Discord, or Twitter for project stuff. Nothing personal, I just lose track of every inbox that is not this one.

Everything I publish is MIT unless the repo says otherwise. Use the code in your commercial game, no credit needed. The art is a different story: palettes are free to use, but finished sprites are CC BY-NC unless we talk first.
