Hi!! I'm Devon. I make TTRPGs and indie video games, the latter mostly with RPGmaker.
About My Video Games
As a hobbyist dev (formerly known in the rpgmaker scene as Legion, Max McGee, and Stormcrow among other aliases) I've been making RPG and horror games with RPG Maker since the actual 20th century. As an elder fixture of the old school RPG Maker community I helped judge the 2006 Misao Awards at the tender age of 20 and was infamous over now-ancient inter-site drama in the scene as Legion by one year later, before returning as "Max McGee" in 2008. (I really hope the website rpgmaker.net can get back on its feet, as I released a ton of games on it that no one can access while it's down.)
Last year I took six months to learn Godot and finally familiarize myself with at least some of the fundamentals of actually coding. I have a few Godot prototypes in various stages of completion, the only one that has been released yet is Nine, a cyberpunk 'catformer' (a side-scrolling platformer where you play as a shapeshifting cat, "obviously").
After of 22+ years of experience as a hobbyist dev and several (relatively) notable and celebrated free video game releases, I finally released my very first *commercial* game, Backstage: murdered sleep in Early Access in June of 2024. The game, in development since Fall 2021, launched on Steam in its full 1.0 release on Halloween of 2024 (which is yesterday at the time of this writing).
About My Pen And Paper Games
I'm the ENnie-award nominated creator of the TTRPGs Anathema, Psionics, SPLINTER, The Singularity System, Systems Malfunction, and more. From 2012 to 2017, I co-founded and then co-managed End Transmission Games, which published the SPLINTER and Psionics: The Next Stage in Human Evolution game lines, the DicePunk and The Singularity System rule systems and a few other amazing games. Two ENnie nominations (Phantasm(2010) in 2013, Epic Space Battles in 2015) and a Ronnie (Anathema) made it on our list of “Cool Things We Did!” before we went the way of the Dodo. My older games published under the ETG label are available here in PDF real cheap. Invisible Inc. Publishing is the spooky spectre of a label started up by my ghost some years after the demise of my mortal form.
