Independent game & software studio
Darkspyre Studios builds games, creative systems, and focused desktop software—each shaped around a problem worth solving or a world worth exploring.
Selected work
One released game. Four active projects in development.
A challenging retro gothic platformer about climbing out of the depths, learning every obstacle, and refusing to stay down. Failure sends you back—but immortality gives you another chance to ascend.

A research and planning application for dividend portfolios, combining current brokerage data, explainable analysis, and explicitly human-approved order workflows.
The studio
Sometimes that means a precision platformer. Sometimes it means a native Mac app, a tabletop reference system, or a careful workflow for decisions that matter.
The format changes. The standard does not: make it purposeful, make it understandable, and keep working until it feels right.
