Escape the ether is my first full released game on Steam. Its a Platformer made in Godot, using the steam SDK for for all the cool steam stuff you would expect to see on professionally made games (workshop, stats, achievements, leader boards etc). It also contains multiplayer over LAN using Godot high level networking API, a full map creator, map exporting and importing, procedurally generated single player mode, and everything within the game is completely made by me (art, sound, code, videos).

Over lockdown I spent a couple of months in my spare time learning about game engines by creating one. It is Java based and uses LWJGL3 for the Open GL bindings. It also features a full Lua scripting system, provided by LuaJ, as well as a Lua front end to enable users to make games via a Lua interface. Its completely open source and available on my GitHub.

I have 10 games published on itch, bolt and google play store. Below is a list of all the games you can download and play now:

General Purpose Java Projects!

This is a kind of catch all for other java projects I have worked on in my spare time, all available on GitHub.

JavaFX Asteroids: The old family favourite asteroids game, made completely in JavaFX, because who said JavaFX couldn’t be a game engine?!

A* Pathfinding: The OG of path finding, with a nice little JavaFX app to show it working, and a handy little image loader to let you create maps in paint.
