The Journey

From the Wing Commander era to voice-first adventures, this is a lifelong hobbyist path that never stopped evolving.

1980s-1990s

Inspiration and first engines

Wing Commander and Chris Roberts lit the spark. Early experiments started with MS Game SDK, followed by DirectX and OpenGL.

2000s

StarQuest became a massive MMO vision: dynamic scaling, huge player populations, and large-scale fleet encounters across planetary systems.

2007

BlockBuster shipped on Xbox XNA, marking an important milestone: finishing and releasing a playable title.

2009

I adopted Unity3D as a new game engine platform, opening the door to faster iteration and new project directions.

2010-2016

The vision was scaled into Pulsar (multiplayer) and then Pulsar Legacies (single player), with a stronger focus on practical scope and iteration.

2012

I backed Star Citizen in 2012, which helped reshape my long-term goals for large-scale space game development.

2012

I wrote Game Networking for Beginners with Unity3D. It is now outdated, but it remains a useful snapshot of that development era.

2016

Around 2016, I decided to stop active development on Pulsar and focus on following Star Citizen instead.

2019

Starkeys VMFD focused on empowering communities to create custom tablet control panels.

2026

Enchanted transformed a family idea into an accessibility-first text adventure with ongoing work in voice interaction and narrative design.
