Everything I make ends up here.

I have ideas, and I put them out in whatever medium fits. A book, a game, whatever the idea needs. This is where they land once they're real.

For nine nights, a strange rain fell, and every acorn it touched woke up. Alive. Now they're coming for every living thing. One landed on a squirrel. It changed him too, but he still fights for the living. He's the shield between the world and the swarm.

There's even a board game hidden in the village.

A hooded runner carries a heart shard through a world that has lost its colour. Every tap lands on the beat. The grey stays ahead of him, and the colour comes back behind.

It's on hold while Acorn Rain gets finished. There's nothing to buy and no date to give. This page will say when it can be played.
