Hi there! I'm Russ!

• I make games 🕹️ in Godot and tools 🛠️ in Clojure (Babashka)

• I maintain a pretty-printer for GDScript called Log.gd.

  • repo
  • docs
  • in the asset library

• 🎮 I launched two solo-dev games in 2024:

  • Dot Hop is a grid-based puzzle game - simple but challenging, and hopefully not too hard. Latest release: v1.2! everywhere, and in beta on iOS and Android!

    • steam
    • github
    • itch
    • all-the-places

  • Dino (steam, github) is a mashup of jam entries from 2023 - platformers, some top-down, some beat em up, some overcooked-ish?! It's over-engineered into a... something.... More to come at some point!

• My jam games are available on itch.io: russmatney.itch.io

• 🎥 I share devlogs on Youtube, and I stream live-coding on twitch.tv/russmatney

• 🌱 My blog is devlogs, a portfolio and all my other writings from over the years: russmatney.com

• Here's my carrd.

• My games are all done under my solo-dev studio, Danger Russ Games

I'm working on games and tools full-time - I want to build up enough support to do this indefinitely, and keep the source open to everyone.

Log.gd is a pretty-printer for GDScript.

It's a drop-in replacement for print(...), and it adds sensible spacing, indentation, color, and line-numbers to your logs. For me it helps a ton with eye-fatigue and debugging.

Dot Hop is a grid-based puzzle game. It started as a PuzzleScript jam game, but I've reimplemented it in Dino to add several themes, more puzzles, and more game-feel.

Lately I'm pushing toward a 2.0 version, with new mechanics, many more puzzles, a puzzle generator, and a mobile-friendly UX. It's available in beta on Android and iOS, lmk if you want to join!

I'm driving towards a full Dino Steam release - wishlist Dino on steam!

Dino started as a Godot monorepo and sandbox for game jams and writing my own addons, but has transformed into a genre-mashup of sorts. More to come on this later!

A Clojure and Babashka based window-management tool, for bringing repl-driven development to your development environment, on Linux and OSX.

A clojure (and babashka) interface for interacting with org files.

     

Come watch my streams on twitch to see these in action!

• Emacs (via Doom)
• Org-Roam
• Godot (4) and GDscript
• Aseprite (pixel art)
• Clojure (as much as possible)
• Babashka (for all things scripting)
