The ARC Legacy

An RPG set 1500 years after a nuclear apocalypse. A 2-d game in the vein of the old Final Fantasy series. I was originally developing it in C++ with the Allegro library, but I am currently redoing the engine using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. The demo below is from the old Allegro engine, with about a half hour's worth of gameplay:

Blorp Zingwag - Elf Detective

A short little adventure game with a twisted Christmas theme, using an earlier version of the engine for The ARC Legacy. Santa's workshop is in chaos following the murder of a prominent elf laborer, and he has called in the legendary detective Blorp Zingwag to solve the mystery. Along the way he discovers a terrible secret, one that will disrupt the foundations of Santa's workshop. The north pole may never be the same again...

The Original ARC Legacy

A long time ago, with the ancient language known as QBASIC, I had created a fairly rough but complete RPG, which you can try out here:

You will need to run DOSBOX to get it working in Windows XP. Also, I must warn you that the graphics are extremely bad, and the controls are ridiculously badly designed, but there is a fairly deep plot-driven game hidden underneath all its flaws :)

Other Projects

Superluminal (HTML5 Canvas game)

A frenetic top-down shooter game with randomly-generated waves of enemies of increasing difficulty. This was basically a test project to familiarize myself with HTML5 Canvas before embarking on the ARC Legacy engine rewrite, but it is pretty fun and challenging so check it out! Will only work in Canvas-enabled browsers (basically, the newest version of every browser except IE).

Superluminal: Warp Two (HTML5 Canvas game)

The sequel to Superluminal. This time instead of random waves, it's a fully-constructed game with four levels, unique bosses and an original chiptune soundtrack. Best performance and graphics are in Google Chrome, but the sound only works properly in Firefox and Opera.

Circuitz (ZIP, 1.2 MB)

A simplistic strategy game, in which two players take turns placing wires down on a circuit board. The player who steers the other into a circuit breaker, or the one to connect to the chip is the winner. You can play against another player or the computer. Warning: hard difficulty against the computer is nearly impossible >:D

GL Landscape Demo (ZIP, 430 KB)

Not a game exactly, but the result of myself dabbling in the realm of 3-d graphics. It takes a grayscale image and converts it into a 3-d landscape that you can fly around with the mouse and keyboard. Seems like it doesn't work right in Vista though :(
