Small apps, strange worlds, and things you can hold in your hand. A place for the projects that have made it far enough to leave my desk.
Pilot a massive alchemy barge across planetary battlefields, crush obstacles, and reclaim scrap, biomass, and Rarium. Turn the haul into processing modules, defenses, and crawler upgrades. A game in development, set in the Veyan Empire.
One final-level idea: arrive at a planet before the military has prepared it, and handle the job yourself. Lord Vey needs a fuel station between two established planets for his Drinks Around the Galaxy tour, with special, one-of-a-kind drinks.
That’s a concept note, rather than an announcement of a finished game.
A retro-futuristic sci fi universe about an immortal cybernetic civilization, born from a technological heist and centuries of interstellar piracy.
Ten thousand years after stealing humanity’s greatest technologies, Vey rules a vast empire from two ships that serve as its mobile capital: the Princess of Midnight and the Princess of Daylight. Rarium sustains immortal cybernetic citizens, while alchemical machines turn reclaimed matter into the foundations of a society free from ordinary scarcity.
Citizens pursue art, hobbies, pleasure, and voluntary combat; Vey mostly wants good food and good company, leaving the logistics to the formidable fleet commander Vael. Beyond that comfortable life are human resistance, ancient elves, mud-forged Orks, and the darker machinery of imperial power. The setting mixes grand space opera with everyday absurdity—and is also the world behind Alchemical Recycler.

Desktop Pal has grown into an AI desktop companion with distinct characters, voice conversations, animated avatars, and optional screen observation. Each Bot keeps its own personality, conversation history, and capsule-based continuity. GameBot can also research the game you’re playing and save useful notes for later.
The personal MVP is working well, with GameBot already in use and Nexus being tested for everyday desktop activities. Development now focuses on refining behavior and making setup easier for other people: installation, credentials, microphone configuration, understandable costs, and tools for correcting learned memories.
Active development. A public installer isn’t ready yet.
