SoulHunter is a 3D adventure game with sword-based hack- and slash combat. The main protagonist of the game, is kind of an anti-hero, a wretched creature that has lost its own soul. To survive, it has to consume the weak souls of the monsters inhabiting the large forest in which the game takes place.

The main character in Hyperion is your typical astronaut, equipped with a modest, but none the less lethal plasma-arm-cannon. The premise is as simple as it is brilliant; stranded on a lush forest planet inhabited by blood-thirsty aliens, you have to survive your way through the level until you reach a magic space-crystal.

A level editor is built into the game, allowing you to create levels from scratch. The two levels in this demo were made using the built-in editor. The game is a work-in-progress, and the demo is currently available for Windows and the handheld GP2X (more platforms may be added later).

The Planetoid Engine is in many ways similar to the popular game Super Mario Galaxy. You’re able to run around on small planetoids of different shapes and sizes and shoot projectiles into orbit. The first prototype was made in Dark Basic Professional. In 2008 however, I decided to convert the engine to nice object-oriented C++ code, powered by DarkGDK, as a school project. After the deadline I abandoned the project, but I have plans to make something similar again some day. It’s a really interesting concept to work with!

The game features a pterosaur(possibly a Pteranodon longiceps?) with laser cannons mounted on its back, fighting off an invading alien force.

The game requires a device(a mobile phone for instance) with Java ME support, MIDP 2.0, CLDC 1.1 and pretty good specs.

A quick and dirty dialogue demo I made for a game design group project. The main character, Bruce, is having a conversation with a “Kogi”(pictured).

The Knights of Evil stole all of the Digger’s shiny crystals and scattered them over six different levels. Armed with a pair of motorized shovels it´s up to you to get them back!

Made in 2005 using Dark Basic Classic, this was my first true 3D game. You play as “The Digger”, a small creature that dig the lands for precious crystals. Featuring a deformable landscape, which enables you to not only dig for crystals but even trap enemies in holes.

The game was reviewed in 2005 by “The Game Creators”, creators of Dark Basic.

“Plenty of thought and attention to detail has
gone into this game, and that’s something
you see precious little of these days, and I
for one salute it. ” -The Game Creators

I’ve made a minor upgrade to make the game work  in Windows Vista and Windows 7, see the “readme”-file for more details.

The premise of this game is to find an alien-”abducted” hamburger. The hamburger was stolen from you by a UFO while you were asleep and now you have to get it back! You can destroy or kill everything in this 2d-adventure game. 4 levels of awesomeness!

With this game I wanted to achieve the kind of landscape deformation seen in the famous Worms series. The project was put on ice due to a harddrive crash.
