Good day everyone...I just discovered this website as a place to be able to share the games I made - and they are both just freeware / fan games that won't cost you anything. The first one I made and originally released back in 2006 called "The Chairman's Quest." I was so much younger then and didn't have a lot of adult responsibilities so I had a lot of time to work on it and it took me just over a year to make with regular work. Then started working on the sequel in early 2010, called "The Academy" and just released it in late 2026 - so yes, it nearly took me 17 years to get that one done - "adulting" did not allow for nearly as much time, plus sitting in front of a computer all day didn't make it as easy to sit in front of a small screen and keyboard again after work was over.
There's nothing particularly spectacular about the game design - it is standard retro JRPG fare similar to the SNES 16-bit era. The main reason I share them is to share the stories written and the characters developed within those games. So that is the focus - character and story focused works in a traditional JRPG environment, rather than a focus on complicated puzzles, unique manipulations of the game engine, or anything like that - just kept it simple, with the focus on the story and the characters within. If that's possibly your thing - please try them out.
Another reason I'm trying to get them both "out there" on listings such as this, is that someone else I discovered has been claiming this game series as their own and making games in its name, claiming they are making / have made the sequel, etc. Only "The Chairman's Quest" and "The Academy" are the games in canon made by me, the same author and creator. Other games with other titles claiming to be in the same series were not made by me and are not canon. There's nothing I can do about that, obviously, these are freeware, not copyrighted games - but I wish they would at least make it clear up front if they are going to do this they are not the original author and those games are not official parts of the canon I wrote...that's the part that bothers me - not so much they are making games but causing confusion as to what the actual, canon story is...
Thanks all and happy gaming!
