A kite fight is a fencing duel that takes place in the sky.

Skyline Kites is a first-person 2D kite-fighting game where players outmaneuver rival kites by reading the wind, managing line tension, and setting up the perfect cut. Players climb, dive, release, pull, and angle their kite to cross lines, scrape string, and slice through the opponent’s setup. The game mixes arcade immediacy with physical kite behavior: tension, slack, coated line sections, altitude, distance, tail drag, wind strength, and risky dives all matter.

Every step forward is a geometric gunfight.

Interrex is a retro-inspired vertical scrolling shooter built around aggressive directional firing and close-range gunfights. Inspired by classics like Gun.Smoke, the game reimagines the formula with a more deliberate gun-kata feel: players weave through enemy fire, pick firing angles, line up shots, manage enemy approaches, and push through hostile territory. Rather than relying on bullet spam, Interrex focuses on spacing, timing, and directional line of fire. Enemies reposition, retreat, flank, and shoot from different angles, forcing the player to keep moving while keeping up offensive pressure. The result is a compact action game about rhythm, threat reading, and surviving by inches.

The hit is the last sentence. The story is the calculation.

Sinking Steel is a compact submarine simulation built around the slow pressure of manual torpedo targeting. Players command a diesel-electric submarine, stalk surface contacts, raise the periscope, identify silhouettes, estimate range and speed, judge angle on bow, and feed the torpedo data computer with the best solution they can build. The game focuses on the tension before the shot: staying hidden, managing depth, controlling speed, avoiding detection, and deciding when the firing window is good enough. A perfect hit should feel earned through observation, patience, and calculation — not automatic lock-on.

Faith is heavy. Steel is heavier.

Grim Pilgrim is a dark medieval action-adventure set in the Radiant Vale universe, following an aging cleric across plague roads, ruined villages, and forgotten sanctuaries on a sacred journey. Between sanctuaries, roads are dangerous, resources are scarce, and every encounter can become a deadly duel. Combat is built around readable timing rather than button mashing. Players watch enemy windups, choose the correct side to parry, strike when openings appear, and survive through discipline rather than raw power. Outside combat, the journey expands into relics, blessings, village life, fragile economies, and the spiritual burden of pilgrimage. The game blends old-school isometric atmosphere with a focused combat system, where each clash should feel tense, deliberate, and consequential.

Every farm in the world begins with a forecast. The rest is management.

AgroSim is a farming management game inspired by the classic spirit of SimFarm, rebuilt with modern systems and regional depth. Players choose a world region, understand its climate, soil, rainfall, sunlight, seasons, and risks, then build a farm that can survive changing weather and economic pressure. The game focuses on the strategic side of agriculture: what to plant, when to expand, how to react to droughts or freezes, and how local climate shapes the farm’s identity. Regions are not just backgrounds; they define growing conditions, weather patterns, seasonal timing, and the entire rhythm of play. AgroSim is designed as a grounded, systems-driven farming sim where each map feels like a different agricultural puzzle.

Cure the body. Stain the soul.

Solus Alchimista is a gritty medieval alchemy game about running a lonely workshop in a bleak world of illness, superstition, poverty, and forbidden knowledge. Players gather ingredients, process materials, discover effects, fulfill requests, and decide how far they are willing to go in pursuit of power, profit, and understanding. Potion-making is built around physical and metaphysical properties. Ingredients have effects, toxicity, clarity, viscosity, elemental associations, planetary symbolism, and different behaviors depending on how they are cut, crushed, filtered, mixed, or refined. A simple herb may soothe a fever; a heretical ingredient may produce miracles at a terrible cost. The game combines potion crafting, resource management, moral choices, and atmospheric worldbuilding into a compact but deep alchemical sim.
