Legend of the Blades is a 3/4 perspective action game with light RPG elements. You must travel the land and defeat the four knights who each wield a sword of elemental power - Rock, Crystal, Sun and Moon. After each knight has been defeated, acquire his/her sword and use it to make progress in the land of Lowendel. Crush your enemies with the mighty Rock Smasher or cast blades of mystical magic to vanquish foes from a distance with the Sword of Moonlight. Learn some of the details of each knight's past and defeat the villain that they could not beat, the Black Knight. It is currently in development.



Night of the Crescent Moon

Night of the Crescent Moon

Night of the Crescent Moon was a game I was developing back in late spring 2016. It is a text adventure game where you must answer the call of a ghostly voice calling out to you across the pale moonlight. To solve the mystery, you must collect a small number of items and speak with a handful of npc's who are more or less sympathetic to your quest. Be creative with your equipment usage and listen well to the characters in the game in order to discover the source of the ethereal voice. It is currently unfinished, and it may or may not be completed at a later date.
