So, I decided to make re-imagined versions of the 1993 CD-i classics "The Faces of Evil" and "The Wand of Gamelon". They are remakes using original assets, available for free download to play on Windows and Linux here:

I am proud to finally reveal my new game, Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore. It is a spiritual successor to a pair of infamous fantasy adventure titles. It's being developed by myself in association with a world-class team of collaborators and published by Limited Run Games.

The positive reaction to Arzette has been beyond anything I could've imagined. Seeing so many people play & enjoy it continues to be surreal. It was a big challenge, but I knew that in the end I had a special game. I am extraordinarily fortunate.
After 122 reviews, Arzette is currently sitting at 98% positive on Steam! It's also at a 77 on Metacritic! Congrats to
@thedopster
for making an amazing game.

This will most likely be the final patch for Arzette. It's a bittersweet feeling, to be fully concluded with development. No question, this game changed my life. I'm very excited for what the future holds, however!
Thanks to all of you who helped make my dreams come true.
Arzette version 1.20 is now live on Steam and will roll out to consoles in the coming days! The patch consists mostly small fixes, tweaks, and features for advanced users on PC. Thanks to everyone who continues to play and enjoy the game!

When I first started developing Arzette, I'll be honest & say I never expected an "accolades trailer" for it lmao. I made a game for myself that nobody asked for, but it turns out a lot of people wanted (& liked) it? I keep saying it, but I can't express how thankful I am enough.
To celebrate Arzette's success & inclusion in

I developed these over the course of 4 years in Game Maker as an exercise to teach myself game development and fulfill an in-joke between friends. As an amateur effort, the programming got a little rough, but hey, it works, and I learned a ton in the process.

How much can you possibly enjoy something when you treat it like a chore?
One of the best parts of growing older has been accepting that I will simply never watch, read, or play all of the things I want to in my life, and that's fine. I enjoy what I can, when I can.

For a long time I've been stubborn in thinking the SNES was Nintendo's best system, but after today I can't deny it's the Switch. It has everything a Nintendo fan could want, plus a hoard of amazing 3rd party releases. Plus I got to develop a game for it, so that rules.
