HatchetSoft
Hobbyist and aspiring indie game developer. Made games using the Verge and ika engines from about 1998 to 2005, and have recently decided to make a comeback! I'm currently bringing some of those older ika games to a more playable standard, porting some to Pygame or Godot, and have plans for new original projects for the future!
I have several projects on the go currently:
- Winter - Complete!
- Fukyuuten - On hold
- Mannux - On hold - Main engine successfully ported to Godot.
- Final Eclipse - In progress - prototype complete in Pygame.
- Tetranet Tournament - In progress - version 0.1 released in Godot.
Some notable people I have worked with for these projects:
- Corey Annis - Game art for Final Eclipse, Mannux, Winter, and Fukyuuten. Animator for RetroMania Wrestling. You can also check out his more recent work with BitBeamCannon, where they are currently making the Amiga style games DaemonClaw and Retro Siege!
- Jeff Brooks - Currently working with Jeff on Final Eclipse and Mannux. He is also making an Earthbound inspired game called Circadian!
- Troupe Gammage - Music and sound design for Fukyuuten.
- Daniel Harris (Hyptosis) - HatchetSoft logo and some extra game art for Winter. He recently released a game called The Prince of Landis, and is currently working on remastering the Alice is Dead games. You can also check out more of his own work here!
- Andy Friesen - Creator of the ika engine, main coding for Winter and Fukyuuten.
- David Churchill (infey) - Music for Winter, Mannux, Final Eclipse
- Troy Potts (Thrasher) - Maps and scripting for Winter, Fukyuuten, and Mannux.
I also have a Discord server for all of my projects, come if you want to discuss and see more or ask about any of them! It's a friendly group here of mostly fellow developers. I also tend to post smaller updates more frequently on Mastodon!
