Intro Maker

Intro Maker is a video tool for making YouTube intro videos and video titles. Users can choose a template, upload their logo(s), customize text, and fire everything off to a server for rendering. Intro Maker is built in PHP (Laravel) with custom video rendering software. I purchased the site (IntroCave at the time) in mid-2018 to get back into the swing of running a live product.

LD#41: Sushi is Fish + Rice

This build was kind of a weird mashup of Diner Dash and physical card matching games I was playing. It turns out someone made this concept (but not *my concept* and totally unrelated) into a real game called Sushi Go and it's pretty rad.

LD#24: Mesh

flash. my first ludum dare entry! you control a mesh, kind of like a pixel-robot-organism that battles in an arena. when any two mesh pixels overlap, they're knocked loose and float freely. pick up pixels to regenerate. if your 'brain' pixel collides with anything, your die.
