Small games, made solo.
Nimbus Games is a one-person studio building short, strange, cozy games. Three shipped, one in progress, and a devlog where I write about all of it.

Static Hours: rebuilding the channel-flip system
Spent the week rewriting how channels switch so static bleeds between them instead of cutting hard. Small change, much creepier result.
Lanternbug hit 1,000 downloads
Did not expect that this year. Thank you to everyone who played it and sent screenshots of their gardens.
Why Driftwood has no fail state
A few notes on why I let the boat drift wherever it wants, and what that decision cost me in playtesting.
About
I'm a solo developer who makes small, atmospheric games in my spare time. I care more about mood than mechanics, and most of what I build starts as a sound or a color before it's ever a game. This site is where I post finished games and the mess that happens before they're finished.
