Art and Games

Art, worlds,
and games

I have been painting and drawing since I was a kid, and I taught myself 3D as soon as we had a computer that could handle it. This page collects what I still have, plus two playful recreations inspired by the games I made at ages 10 and 13.

How Gameer started

Building games
at age 10

I had stories I wanted people to step into, not just read. I taught myself 3D and started trying to turn those stories into games.

A single scene could take a full day to render. I loved making the world. I hated how much the tools got in the way.

That frustration stayed with me. I created Gameer for people who have ideas but not necessarily the money, team, or technical background to build them. I want them to make something people can enjoy, publish it, and earn from what they create.

A little curiosity. A lot of play.

Early games

Tributes to the ideas and tools I grew up with.

Age 10Blender Game Engine era

Tiny Road Trip

A little racing game inspired by the one I made at 10. Take the coastal road, collect gold, and make it to the finish.

Painting and drawing

Portraits, figures, and still lifes on canvas and paper.

3D objects and characters

Studies I built to learn modeling, materials, and light.

Buildings and worlds

Houses, rooms, and landscapes built one experiment at a time.

Motion

Simulation and animation tests. The slow part that led to Gameer.
