Welcome to the workshop

I'm David. I teach at a university and make games in my spare time. This little corner of the web keeps track of three projects, from old experiments to the builds I'm working on now.

Some entries show prototypes that I later changed or set aside. I keep them here because seeing the earlier attempts is part of the fun.

Three projects

SIGNAL RIDER

Rin skating toward a circular Terminus in a blue conduit

A Saturn action game about skating through a compromised digital world, collecting data, and reaching the next signal. Read the history

The Goddess Tourney

A character-led fantasy role-playing game whose older RPG Maker incarnation is being rebuilt in RPG Maker MV. Read the history

Sonic Saturn

Sonic running along a bright green road with floating islands in a Saturn emulator capture

A noncommercial fan experiment in making fast Sonic-inspired 3D play feel at home on the Sega Saturn. Read the history

Latest updates

23 September 2026 — SIGNAL RIDER B0086 has preserved Terminus and outer-route QA stills; hardware acceptance of this candidate is not established by the captures. More
23 September 2026 — Sonic Saturn's B0085 opening and roadway were captured in Beetle Saturn. This is emulator evidence; real Saturn review remains separate. More

Entries distinguish accepted builds, emulator captures and experiments. See the individual histories for context.
