Former CPO at Playkot, now back to building things with my own hands.

I’ve been making games and software for 15+ years. I started with Flash games and VK apps, later led large teams and shipped games played by millions, and eventually came full circle back to indie development.

These days I build slightly unreasonable projects:

– BottleShip, a browser runtime for classic x86 Windows games – NIBBLE8, a fantasy console that runs on MS-DOS – indie games, tools, and experiments with AI-assisted development

I’m interested in emulation, runtimes, old hardware, game preservation, and using technology to make strange little worlds possible.

The runtime itself doesnt include any commercial games. For the public library, I use old demo versions or other freely redistributable releases.

You can also package your own game files or import supported GOG installers from games you legally own. Everything is processed locally in your browser and none of the game files are uploaded anywhere.

The current compatibility list is available at github.
