iTank
iTank is a battlefield shooter that I am developing with Wesley Kerr and Tegan Moersfelder. Until its release you can play an HTML5 demo.
Silver Star Chronicles
SSC is a project I did during the summer of '10 that took on a life of its own. What started out as a simple feasability study turned into a full-blown 2D RPG engine, complete with map editor, npc scripting, and branching story dialogs. For more check out the SSC vlog.
