Danger Russ Games

Hi there! My name is Russ!

I build open source games and tools, with Godot, Unity, and modern web tech.Check out below for links to my socials, projects, devlogs, and other goodies.


Lately

Personal site rework!I've been cleaning up my portfolio and devlogs website - see the latest at russmatney.comSome highlights:- Dev Logs

Carving With CareTowards the end of last year, I worked with Cat Tale Games to create a cozy wood-carving game. Play the latest here: Carving with Care on itch.io

Games (Danger Russ Games)

Open-source games and prototypes from my solo-dev work.- Dot Hop - A grid-based puzzle game (github, steam, itch, trailer)
- Dino - A procedural engine for various 2D games (github, steam, itch)
These games are pay-what-you-want on itch -
feel free to grab them there! The steam sales are a nice way to signal support for my next game.
Godot Prototypes:
- Blox - A block-faller (github, itch)
There are many more on my itch page: russmatney.itch.io

Games (Team Moonstorm)

I spent the summer of 2024 deep in the Indie Game Academy's Level 3 Program as the Prefect for Team Moonstorm of House Cleric.- Rapid Eye Madness is now available on steam and on itch.io. REM is a warioware-like microgame collection with a cutesy-horror theme.
- Wicked Peak is a grapple-hooking platformer available on itch. Built during an extended weekend jam, with plenty of room to grow!
Plus a couple open-source godot prototypes:
- Terrorware - A culty warioware (github, itch)
- Overculted - A culty overcooked clone (github, itch)

Addons and other Tools

Godot addons:
- Log.gd - A godot pretty printer (and drop-in print replacement)
- Bones - A repo made of reusable pieces of Dino, now used in most (all?) of my godot games.
General tools:
- blog - my portfolio, devlogs, and blog
- gg - a Babashka (bb) wrapper that provides useful cli commands for managing godot repos
- fabb - a Babashka-emacs integration for running (and rerunning) bb commands
