Game Dev

My highest art

Game dev was my first great passion. In college, I would come home from school, sit at my computer, and do game dev work for 8 hours. Basically every day! I would have been glad to have made it my career.

See my itch.io: skelly1324.itch.io

Fun fact: My IBM interviewer asked if I was ready to write “Real code”, a military contractor asked if I spent more time “Playing games or building them”.

Skellylabs

I was a bit of a big deal in Roblox in 2008. I had a company that made models and hired assassins, and used to be recognized in game!

Its a hard thing, to have peaked at 12...

  • working telescope by skellylabs inc. — Roblox model with scripts

    My greatest creation. Touching the lens would teleport you inside a tiny room inside the telescope, forcing your camera so close you can't see yourself — your view would instead be full of stars!

Flappy Zombie

Flappy zombie was my flappy bird clone, built off a tutorial. I gave it my own touch, and used some math to ensure it was JUST BARELY guaranteed to be always possible to survive.

Before going offline, was William Sheridan (gold)'s favorite app. He is the Flappy Zombie world champion.
