- Sector Unknown - Latest Devlogs Part II - 20 February 2025
Sector Unknown - Latest Devlogs Here are some devlogs from my latest sci-fi cRPG that I've been working on. Hope you enjoy! If you like what you see, please feel free to wishlist and follow: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2734270/Sector_Unknown/ Devlog: The Planets of Sector Unknown A few weeks back, I wrapped up the last of the five story planets for Sector Unknown. There’s still the “point of no return” planet—the climactic final world—to finish, but every planet leading up to it is now fully fleshed out with quests, writing, and design. Now seems like a good time to share a bit of insight into each of these worlds. Keep in mind, these are just the core story planets—there are also numerous side-mission stations, derelict ships, and other locations scattered throughout the game…. Read More!

- Sector Unknown - Latest Devlogs - 9 June 2024
Hi All, Here are some devlogs from my latest sci-fi cRPG that I've been working on. Hope you enjoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2734270/Sector_Unknown/ Companions "Welcome to the party, pal!" In my last devlog, I discussed non-combat support personnel that you could recruit for your cause. This devlog will focus on combat companions/party members. These are allies you can recruit to join you on missions if you choose, or you can opt to go it alone. There might be some people that want to murder hobo everyone in the game, including potential companions. Yes, there's even room for serial killers in Sector Unknown... Read More Support Personnel In your adventures across various planets, you'll have the opportunity to recruit a wide range of characters into your organization. While not all of these characters are suited for combat, they will each bring unique skills and contributions…
- Sector Unknown - Announcement - 8 March 2024
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2734270/Sector_Unknown/ After creating quite a few strategy games as an indie (and mostly solo) developer, I decided to create an cRPG instead. This is the genre that I find myself playing and enjoying the most, from classics such as Baldur’s Gate 2, Fallout 2, Fallout New Vegas, Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, to more contemporary games such as Pillars of Eternity, Outer Worlds, Colony Ship, Trudograd, Underrail, and Encased. In short, I really, really like RPGs, and especially ones that use an isometric angle of gameplay. Sector Unknown is sort of my love letter to both the classics and the contemporaries. I think I’m better suited for telling a story than number crunching strategy games (as evidenced by my mixture of reviews in that genre). After three years working part-time (well almost full time) on the systems, the game is close to com…
- Age of Gladiators Reforged Launched! 50% Discount For Owners - 27 March 2023
Thanks for your patience last week with the delay. Age of Gladiators Reforged has now launched (a few minutes early even!) I hope you all enjoy the new version of the game. It was a lot of fun for me to revisit my first foray into game design. Looking at my old code I had to shake my head. This one is a complete remake from scratch - the nice thing as well is that it can be updated far easier than the old version. Here is the bundle link for previous owners of Age of Gladiators (50% Discount): https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/31123/Age_of_Gladiators_Reforged/ And here is the link to anyone that just wishes to purchase the new version: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2103620/Age_of_Gladiators_Reforged/ Thanks again to all the previous fans of the series and to perhaps some news ones as well!

- Age of Gladiators Reforged - March 27th Release Date & Discount For Owners - 7 March 2023
Hi All, The game has been approved by Steam, but with the Spring sale coming up, I've decided to move the release date to Monday, March 27th. Apologies for the delay.

- Age of Gladiators Reforged - Coming Soon! - 19 August 2022
It's been a busy Summer. Along with Deadwater Saloon, I would also like to announce Age of Gladiators Reforged, a remake of the original 2016 game in the Unity Engine. The store page can be seen here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2103620/Age_of_Gladiators_Reforged/ As some of you might know, I created the 2016 game in an engine I (barely) cobbled together from several books. It didn't work in most resolutions and UI/quality-of-life changes were near impossible to implement - so I decided to recreate it in Unity from scratch. The UI has been updated to something made in 2022 (featuring more icons and less text as well as better-looking windows that conform to the overall palette) and many new quality of life additions have been added (daily alert icons across the top for example). As well, numerous other gameplay and aesthetic changes have been made: Combat Mitigation now fed by ag…

- Age of Gladiators II: ROME - Progress! - 30 January 2018
Just a quick update to let everyone know I am hard at work still on Age of Gladiators II: Rome! Some things in the works right now: Arenas: These are being designed as we speak. As the player progresses through the various cities, the arenas they fight in will be come grander, until finally reaching the Coliseum itself! 3D Models: Gladiators will come from three regions in the game (Italia, Gaul, Africa) and will have their own ethnic abilities. The preliminary looks at the models as they are being design right now are fantastic; much more detailed. Looking forward to showing more. Armor: Once the models are complete, armor will be worked on next. I'm going for six armor sets to start (two light, two medium, two heavy). The armor sets themselves will match much of what we have seen in artwork and movies featuring gladiators to-date. Weapons: Weapons are finished and will be in-game shor…

- Age of Gladiators II: ROME - Enemy Bosses - 8 December 2017
Greetings! This is the first update announcement for Age of Gladiators II: Rome. I have been hard at work coding the new game itself, but now that the artwork is starting to come in, I have something to finally show you. You will find below some early-phase portraits of a few of the bosses that you'll be encountering - though the final versions will be more polished and will have slight changes to them (the pipe will be removed from the top-left character, for example). I wanted the artist to make them look a combination of untrustworthy, nasty, insane, ruthless, vain, and calculating. I don't know about you, but I would say mission accomplished so far! Age of Gladiators II: Rome will have the same city progression as the first iteration; though fame will also play a part in the ability to progress to new cities. Which means you'll be seeing and dealing with these people a lot...

- Age of Gladiators: Franchise Bundle - 21 September 2017
The Age of Gladiators community has been amazing. As I announced a few weeks back, as a thank you toward fans of the first Age of Gladiators game, I have released the Age of Gladiators franchise bundle: Age of Gladiators: Franchise Bundle What If I Already Own The First Game? How Steam bundles work is you only pay for the games in the bundle that you don't already own. So that means previous owners of the first Age of Gladiators will not be required to re-purchase the game again - which translates effectively into a 10% Direct Discount toward Age of Gladiators II! I hope you enjoy the new game!
