Indie game developer building Ultraviolet — a neon-noir 2D action rogue-lite. Katana, revolver, tattoos of scripture, and a city that doesn't know what's under the asphalt.
Combat with a fighting game's soul: blocks, parries, combos, dashes. Progression inked onto the hunter between runs. Procedural missions, a monastery hub, and a long road through pre-alpha.
When not shipping builds to itch, I'm deep in Godot — systems, AI, generators, and the feel of a jump.

- v0.4.13-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.4.13-pre-alpha: seven versions, and a generator that rolls dice
The last build on this page was v0.4.6. Seven versions have happened since — so this one catches you up in a single pass, then gets into what this post is actually about: v0.4.1…
- v0.4.6-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.4.6-pre-alpha: catching up, and two movement bugs squashed
It's been a while since the last post here. v0.3.7 was the last build pushed to itch; eight versions happened since and none of them shipped here — so this build catches you up …
- v0.3.7-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.3.7-pre-alpha: the map folds up, and a second cleanup pass
Four builds in one post, and only the first three change anything you can see. v0.3.3 gave you a boss and swings you could read. Since then the mission stopped being a corridor.
- v0.3.3-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.3.3-pre-alpha: a real boss, and a swing you can read
Two builds in one post. v0.3.1 put a referee between the enemies so a crowd fight could be read. These two make the enemies — and the boss — worth reading.
- v0.3.1-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.3.1-pre-alpha: enemies fight as a group
Short cycle, one change: the enemies know about each other now.
- v0.2.9-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.2.9-pre-alpha: the levels are procedural now
Longer gap than usual — five tagged builds since v0.2.0, rolled into one release here. The headline: missions are generated now. v0.2.0 had one handbuilt test corridor; v0.2.9 b…
- v0.2.0-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.2.0-pre-alpha: tattoos and the monastery hub
v0.1.0 was the combat core and one corridor to clear. v0.2.0 builds the layer around the fight: the first progression systems, the first NPCs, a controller, a real jump. Still o…
- v0.1.0-pre-alphaUltraviolet v0.1.0-pre-alpha: first playable prototype
This is the first public, playable build of Ultraviolet. One test level, the full movement and combat kit, none of the final presentation. A run takes about 5–15 minutes. The po…
