Selected work

A few things we've built and released.

Hydracept product interface

Hydracept

Production-ready game assets, with a receipt for every run.

Proof: every job returns a receipt. Try the 5-minute game asset guide.

One API for sprite sheets, transparent PNGs, and durable jobs — without wiring every provider SDK.

SeedFiction writing and world-building workspace

SeedFiction

Play with words. Build worlds.

Proof: play a language game, or open a manuscript — they connect only when you choose.

Short games on one side. A writing and world workspace on the other.
