Hello World

I’m interested in too many things - making games, music, sounds, and hopefully a little difference. I don't keep a personal blog anymore, but I’m somewhat active on Twitter and Sombr Studio’s development blog. Here are some projects I've worked on over the years.

Sombr Studio

Sombr Studio is my indie game company, and Invisigun Reloaded is the first release! I'm currently working on prototypes and explorations for the next official project.

Invisigun Reloaded

Invisigun Reloaded is a multiplayer, single-screen battle arena with a twist: everyone’s invisible!

As a way to fuse my love of coding and pixel art, it was a passion project with help from Ali Bavarian on the soundtrack, Yujin Choo on the character designs, and Darren Quach on the cover art.

Paper Sound

Paper Sound is my music production duo with Ali Bavarian. We've worked on game soundtracks as well as commercial work for films and ads. You can listen to our releases at our bandcamp page.

HAWKEN

HAWKEN is a multiplayer first person shooter that places you inside a mechanized war machine on the battlefield of a dystopian world.

The project was created by Khang Le, and I worked on sound design, the soundtrack, graphic design, and UI coding for the cockpit HUD.

Gallery Nucleus

Nucleus strives to be a welcoming gathering place for the art loving community by offering quality art, art-related goods, and rarities. Focusing primarily on gallery exhibits, they also host benefit auctions, product signings, music events, and artist lectures.

I coded the technical backbone of Nucleus (frontend and backend web sites), and met many of my closest friends and incredible artists while working there.

midimado

A very small MIDI tool. I initially created it to fix double-triggering issues that are common to hardware MIDI drum pads, but it also does some basic message filtering and translation.

  • Prevent double-triggered notes
  • Block/remap CC messages
  • Remap note messages
  • Download (macOS / Windows)

Pixel Cadet

This is a tiny bitmap pixel font that was created for Invisigun Reloaded. It is decently-suited for localization with 1454 glyphs. Feel free to use it in your projects, free of charge. Attribution is appreciated but not necessary.

Idiom Savant

Two friends and I created this podcast that attempts to explore and explain the origins of common expressions in a manner that isn’t nearly as boring as this description.
