Making a thrilling stealth-lite comedy game about the World's Worst Handyman. Baby Lumberjack Founder.

Hi! Dad of 3, working full-time, and spending late nights chasing my gamedev indie dream.

For 4+ years, I’ve been making World’s Worst Handyman, a stealth-lite comedy where you fix (or ruin) things, dodge angry residents, and earn cash to save your animal shelter from closing!

Free demo on Steam!
When someone asks you how much your indie game will cost...

Sometimes gamedev feels like quantum mechanics—code only works when observed. It’s broken, you add logs to debug, and suddenly it’s fine.

Schrödinger’s Bug: both working and not working until you check… or maybe I just forgot to save. 😅

5 years ago, I never thought I’d be making a game like this. Late nights, running on fumes, squeezing in dev time after work—it’s been brutal. But I’ve never been prouder.

World's Worst Handyman feels like a time capsule of how far I’ve come since teaching myself to code.

Working on new text animations! How do the animations and pacing feel?

Is the text speed right, or would you want to hit skip? 🤔

One of the trickiest parts of Mythwrecked has been balancing the colour palette for the various times of day, and the transitions between them (the game has a dynamic day/night cycle).

With Röki (our last indie game), all scenes had a static colour scheme, so this was a whole new ball game...

New to Bluesky and hearing whispers of some legendary indie gamedev starter packs. How does one… ahem… respectfully sneak into one? Asking for science.
