Local Author Pivots to Game Dev; Will Not Stop

Self-published novelist, recently unemployed, "transitioned to professional practice" during the public health emergency. Now ships seven titles. Says the slogan is real.

I'm Omari. Dilettante turned all-in. Started devving during the public health emergency with whatever engine would run — Unity, Godot, Construct, GDevelop — then committed to Lua as the one real language and made the switch to professional.

Lost a job somewhere in the middle. Turned out to be a signal, not an obstacle. Took every unfinished project I had and breathed new life into them. No degree, no studio, no excuses. Self-taught, self-published, self-directed.

Novels on Amazon since 2015. An album, Machine Lord Human Gang — Don't Believe, on Amazon as well. Now a slate of games, each one actually arriving. If there is one thing worth knowing about me, in the way you might want to know one thing about a person before handing them your attention: I keep my word, and I ship.

What's Next

Amazing Arrow-Keys-Only Game!

It plays itself with FOUR (4) BUTTONS — and only four.

One hand. Four arrow keys. Your weapon auto-fires. Built to be played while you eat, smoke, drink, or hold a baby.* The constraint is the design. Five pilots, seventy-five skins, thirty-five-plus relics, and the whole apparatus weighs eleven (11) megabytes — nine language packs included.

Marblewick

A small strategy game
