About me :: Game development
|
|
|
|
This is list of any game projects, either hobbyist or pro, that I had some conscious involvement with - as sole developer (design, code, graphics, music), or in a single creative role. It only includes projects that were considered complete and released to the public, at least to some extent, as there were way too many unfinished projects to mention. The list is fairly incomplete, it is difficult to remember or track down all these projects, and sometimes I had vague idea how the game will be called, or I just didn't know the fate of a project. Countless non-game but related projects, as well as projects that use some of my libraries or ripped content, not included.
