In 2017, a webpage was made from scratch for a small game development community, Spherical. The old version of the site did not communicate properly what the Sphere game engine or community really was. The new front page aimed to fix that.

In 2018, a custom theme was also made for the forums, matching the main site.

Ludum Dare Page

Aka: The Tale of Old Man and Ninja Hacker.

A small game made for Ludum Dare 27. (Ludum Dare is a monthly game competition.)

The game keeps swapping between the old man and the hacker – they occupy the same position, meaning the old man is brought on a wild adventure into very unlikely places. Both characters are needed to make progress.

The concept is a little flawed because of all the waiting, though. And I didn’t find much stuff the old man could do.

[Unfinished] SpheRun game launcher

SpheRun binaries

An old launcher GUI for a game engine called Sphere. Made using NW.js, which uses the Node API to allow people to create desktop applications using web technology. I never finished it, but it was a nice exercise in HTML, CSS and general GUI design.

Looking back at it, I realize how much I’ve grown in making appealing graphical designs… Practice makes perfect, I suppose!

Game: Damien Docchi

Get miniSphere

A small, incomplete puzzle platformer featuring some dude called Damien Docchi. Damien can or cannot push boxes around depending on their weight. Power-ups that he finds along the way will allow him to be able to push more boxes and solve larger puzzles in the open world area. At least, that was the idea behind it.

Made using the Sphere game engine.

Trouble running?
If you’re wondering how to play the game, download miniSphere at the link above and then run the .sgm file with it.
