The developer
Hey. I'm Omari — adarkfable. Dred if you know me.
I've been making games solo since COVID, self-taught across Unity, Construct, Godot, Defold, and Solar2D before settling into Lua and Love2D as my daily tools.
It started as nights and weekends. Now it's the whole thing — full-time, one-person game development and publishing, with a published-author's instinct for story and a habit of building systems that are deeper than they look. Design, code, art, narrative, deployment. Start to ship.

The catalog
Shipped games. Real Steam listings. Every one with a demo.
Three out now, one on the way — all four playable for free before you spend a cent. Systemic, literary, and built end-to-end by one person.
One hand. Four keys. Consequences.
Out nowA.K.O. Arrow Keys Only
A one-hand arcade roguelike. Your weapon auto-fires — you just move, dodge, and switch elements. Five pilots, seventy-five skins, eleven megabytes.
Workplace sorrow, itemized
Out nowDowner Management
A bureaucratic autobattler RPG. Hire. Fire. File. Mourn. Sign Form 3NQ. Six departments, eighty-nine skills, four endings.
A Marblewick game
Coming soonDragons Die
First in the Marblewick franchise. Lead a flight of named dragons out into the reach and bring them home — a warm, quiet strategy game about loss.
The patronage apparatus
Humility is expensive, and I have no room for it in my budget.
Shame is a poor man's game. Give if you can. Share if you cannot. Send a strange opportunity if you have one. I will keep making work that has teeth, jokes, and a suspicious number of inheritance systems.
Appendix · not legally binding
A convincing list of reasons to give me money.
You've seen the games — that's the real pitch. This part is the bit. Stamp the ones you find persuasive. The tone is joking because capitalism is embarrassing; the rent, regrettably, is sincere.
-
This is the work now — full-time, one-person game development, three titles shipped and counting. Your support keeps the next one coming.
-
I have a kid and child support payments. Short sentence. Large implications. Excellent pacing.
-
It's a win-win. You support a working indie dev; I make you games. A transaction, yes, but with lanterns.
-
It's a two-way street. If you're in the area, I might buy you lunch. Might is the load-bearing word.
-
I need to look good if we go to lunch, so I need better clothes. This is brand development.
-
When you give me money, I'm obligated to listen to you. I'm like a therapist that way — wildly less qualified, somehow more available.
-
Be part of it. Unique, well-made games from a dev who cares and answers emails like a person.
-
You're helping keep art, expression, and freedom alive in this age of corporate-mandated NothingNuggets.
-
Wealth inequality is a real problem. Do your part. This is macroeconomics, probably.
-
And if money's tight: wishlist a game, tell a friend, leave a review. Free, and it genuinely helps. No lies, just love.
