    About

    I Make Games. Well, One.

    Grew up playing Quake, spent years contributing to Warsow, and now I make Washiki Washoi! on my own engine. A hobby that got slightly out of hand.

    1. 1997QuakeWorld sets the standards, permanently.
    2. 1999Quake 3 Arena on a beige CRT.
    3. Warsow eraNearly a decade of art, code, and opinions nobody asked for.
    4. NowSHAG Engine and Washiki Washoi! development.
    Standards are high because I'm the only one here.

    Mission

    Fast, fair, skill-first games that run anywhere, starting with the browser. No installer wizard required.

    Fair Play Ethics

    No pay-to-win mechanics. Players compete on skill, not wallet size.

    Innovation

    The SHAG Engine pushes what a browser game engine can do, from netcode to tooling.
