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

I'm giving a lightning talk at Godot Con about Log.gd! Here is the slide deck. I'll share the YouTube version when it lands!Here's a blog post I wrote about my experience at Boston Godot Con.---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
- clawe - An ambitious set of clojure namespaces for managing my daily workflows, todos, pomodoros, and whatever else.
- clove - A simple Tauri web view wrapper
- org-crud - Clojure for reading/writing emacs org-mode files

Spotify

- fancy ball
- from my momma's house
- january pages
