You wished for a nerd, and you got one. Now, you're going to complain about that too, aren't you?

After a number of years, I regained my Steam account (steamcommunity.com/id/tarbal). This is a big win in the fight against communism and a positive step toward regaining my identity.

The new webserver had a security hole that is being fixed. Migration has been delayed. See the news tab for more details.

Shadow of the Mountain™ coming Christmas of 2025 (release has been delayed, due to difficulties in processing payments and porting to Godot) Correction, it may be Christmas of 2027 (or, even later if there's revolutionary war), at this rate, due to all of the hacker scumbags sabotaging literally everything. Furthermore, I've decided to hardcode every single line of code -- there will be no scripting. After fooling around with some online games lately (Destiny, Path of Exile, Elder Scrolls Online), I've decided that any use whatsoever of interpreted programming languages like C# or python is unacceptable for any sort of game with any competitive aspect whatsoever. The initial release will be for Windows and Debian Linux, with possible ports later...

Features:
  • Open, online, 3D world
  • PVP and PVE
  • Action and adventure
  • Small scale medieval warfare
  • Three weapon types
  • Hundreds of unique weapons and armor with dozens of art designs
  • Extra unlockable special abilities
  • Dungeon crawling excitement
  • Content progression

I'm a little terrified to release it on Steam, since they won't give me my old account back. I'm not sure if I trust them anymore. After a number of years, I regained my Steam account. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were bullied by some third party or another to delay giving it back to me.

I am going to sell the final complete bug-tested version here via custom payment processing on a physical server. I'm releasing a custom browser with custom certificates soon. Keep an eye on my Github. The game has been delayed even further, due to porting from Unity to Godot. I'd rather not have to pay royalties, especially due to the recent scandal with the CEO at Unity. Plus, various bugs creep in the Unity version through the filthy internet.



Physical game system, coming eventually -- under $199, including some classic games with lobby/matchmaking for multiplayer...


Check out this preview of Shadow of the Mountain™, coming December 2025




Capture™ coming Summer, 2025




Check out this game I made with some folks at Global Game Jam 2020 one weekend in Austin, TX called Sed County. Check out the original release here. Windows only. It gives an example of some of my AI.


Check back here by Cyber Monday for deals on my legal emulation-station physical product. There's still a little more work to do, but check out a sneak peak of what kind of product you can expect here soon.





The Faraday cage is at the end. It's a great way to resurrect a PS4 when some idiot wants you off of the internet. Make sure the lan cable is unplugged and leave the power unplugged for about 30 minutes, before you cover it and turn it on. I figured out they were basically DDOSing my home network at multiple different homes. I guess they have an irrational fear of video games.
