- Goodbye, AI - 4 October 2026
At launch, I was upfront with the fact that 5% of Carceri's total imagery was AI Generated. The other 95% consisted of my drawings, paintings, photography, and Open Access Public Domain Art (sources listed below). Now, Carceri has 0% generative imagery. It's all been replaced!You may be asking: why use gen AI at all? And why get rid of it now, a year after the game's final update? TL;DR, I had good reason to use it, but not nearly good enough reason to keep it. Let's go back to where it all started.In 2019, I started designing a spiritual successor to 2014's ULTRAWORLD EXODUS (my first solo indie game). ULTRAWORLD was about AI, as in real digital consciousness, not the rebranded LLM "AI" we have today. In ULTRAWORLD you play as yourself, visiting a real place created by the AI living there. Carceri extends this idea: a true AI has built a world where ALL programs can live. Again, this i…
- Carceri, the demo! - 15 August 2025
Today, I've released a demo for Carceri! Now there's no excuse to skip my solo indie game...well, unless you're just not interested, I suppose that's still valid.However, how could you NOT be interested in a cozy, first-person exploration/narrative adventure set in a technicolor world of vibes; featuring cute characters, a killer soundtrack, and a camera that let's you control every aspect of the game's visuals? If you enjoy the demo and decide to purchase the full game, your save file transfers, so you can pick up where you left off.Speaking of the full game, Carceri is 20% off for the next week (8/15-8/24)!And, for the three of you that already have the game, I've made numerous tweaks/fixes throughout, in addition to some extra polish, to prep for this demo. This is the final update to Carceri (outside of critical bug fixes), so the only thing left to say is:Au revoir, Visitors!P.S. C…
- Carceri is now Carceri Zero! - 4 November 2024
As a AAA vet (Metroid Prime 4, Remnant, Crysis 3), I assumed that gave me a tiny leg up, and my solo-dev indie game, Carceri, might do OK... Boy was I wrong! It flopped so deeply, so profoundly, that it's honestly hilarious. And it seems I have a lot of company. In our Age of Infinite Options, most Indie games fail. There's simply not enough time (or money) to allow all games to succeed, or even get noticed. Consider how saturated we are in 2024 (per Steam DB): - There's almost 100k games on Steam now (98,298) More than half were released in the past 4 years (53,360) - 15,257 games were released on Steam this year (through Oct) That's more than the first 11 years of Steam combined! (11,323) - That's roughly 1,525 games a month, 350 a week, or 50 a day. More games release per month than the first 6 years of Steam combined! (1,383) - Also, consider the saturation of TV shows, movies, book…
- Carceri is a "chaotic Art-toy" from a former Metroid Prime 4 dev, inspired by Piranesi - 3 May 2024
Carceri is a fizzy and kaleidoscopic, first-person "chaotic Art-toy" in which you explore/hallucinate an island resort that's also a concentration camp ("carceri" is Italian for prison) for sentient computer programs. Out sometime in May, it's the work of James Beech , who describes himself as "an on-again, off-again AAA veteran" with credits on Metroid Prime 4, Remnant: From the Ashes, and Crysis 3. The environments take hefty influence from Carceri d'invenzione, a series of prints created in the 18th century by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, whose name has become a byword for impossible spaces.
