I have been making games since I was 14. I have developed many games, from Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mobile, Web to Blockchain. Working by myself, as part of teams, or leading teams. Some took me a few hours, other took over half a decade. Here are 20+ of my favourites:

Find My Phone App - The Game

"Its a masterpiece, short and really funny. One of the best experiences on VR that I had" - SideQuest Review

Your phone is missing. This is not only an outrage, it's downright dangerous. You've got to find where in the world that thing scampered off to! Thankfully you've got Find Your Phone App on your tablet! 

Scan environments for extremely unhelpful clues on where your phone is and hope that it hasn't fallen prey to a wily phone thief!

This is the Global Game Jam 2021 #ggj21 entry by The Free-Range Roombas, Australia!

Detective GPT 

A VR murder mystery party game where the AI decides what happened and who is guilty!

The game starts when one of the players murder another.
In comes, Detective Gerald-Patrick-Thompson!

Who will be convicted for the dastardly crime?
Can you get it to the right conclusion?
Can you get away with murder?
Can you get away with frame someone else?
How will the story unfold?

The Detective GPT uses its AI detective work to create a story based on the information it has collected, to deduce who it thinks the murder is, and how it all unfolded.

The all-knowing ai is always right, even when its wrong.

"Yours are human brains, and thus prone to human error! I am only capable of hilarious robot error!"

Older Video

My first mobile game. I begin designing this game in highschool at the age of 15, it was later released on iOS.

Violence and Helicopter

A game I made somewhere between High School and my first years of Uni. This one isn't very complete, but has some really smooth & fun animation with a cool surprise at the end.

Cold Hard Evidence

A Game I made for the UoW Game Developers Winter Game Jam of 2012? The Theme was Winter, Cheat & Shoot. 

I assumed most others in the competition would take that as using cheats to make it so you could shoot ice or something similar.  In an attempt to try and think about these themes differently I made a game where you had to shoot photos of husbands cheating on their wives with hookers. Only it is snowing, so you must defrost the camera lens to get a clean shot. I made this game in 24 hours, and won the competition.
