Games in Development
The games listed on this page are games that have a fairly significant amount of playtesting and development work completed, but are still in prototype form and subject to change, via theme, mechanisms or more. I'm always looking for playtesters who may be interested in trying out these games.

The Core
After finding a derelict planet, you and the other players will mine the planet for it resources and possibly cause cave-ins in the process. This game is currently seeking a publisher and may have a theme change in the future.
Corporate Jargon
You and your fellow business employees are up for a promotion! The only thing that is standing in your way is the upcoming business meeting where you need to make a presentation. However, you have NO IDEA what you will be talking about. You better fake your way to the top!


Isolated...
Stranded on a planet, you are alone and can only rely on your training to get you off this place. Everyone thinks you're already dead, so there's no use waiting for a search party. Find the resources you need to make your escape in this solitaire game.
Silver Cinema
In the Silver Age of movies, you and your opponents are created the first movie studios in the world. Hire talent, build resources and acquire the best scripts to come out ahead in this dice-worker-placement game!


Smoke & Mirrors
Smoke & Mirrors is a passion project of sorts. After spending many years being a professional magician, I was always on the lookout to play Magic themed games, but there are unfortunately few. I am working on a pool-building game which uses a little "Slight-of-hand!"
The Rio Grande
A Big epic engine building game based on my home region. This game is nearing completion and should be another new release on The Game Crafter soon!


Tie-Dice
A Tye-dye themed dice game which is already completed and is currently seeking a publisher as self publishing would be too cost prohibitive. Elegantly simple game of value manipulation.
Many more!!!
It would be impossible to list all of the games that I have in development, so I'll just list a few here which are currently prototypes: Pyramid Looters, Weave, High Rise, Balance, Witch?, and quite a few abstract strategy games which I will add more in the future.
