My first game on Steam is out now as part of The WHEELJAM Collection! I hope you check it out alongside all the other wonderful entries! SIDELANING is a first-person 3D tower defense set inside a computer, where you build every tower from pieces scattered around the level instead of using currency.

The WHEELJAM Collection -- 22 games from WHEELJAM 2025 and 2026 -- is now LIVE on Steam, for FREE! This has been a labor of love from the community, and now you can play them all, updated from their jam versions, with one convenient launcher: store.steampowered.com/app/5090350/...

This started life as a rendering experiment using GPU-driven 3D bézier curves for all the visuals in a game, and was reused in my entry for WHEELJAM hosted by the lovely @pedalboard.games where you're challenged to use the infamous "persuasion wheel" mechanic from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

After making a prototype for the gamejam, I spent the last few months expanding it into what it is now, a small but complete 2-hour game, filled with all the bells and whistles you'd expect of any indie title. I wouldn't have done it without the push of a Steam release, which I'm very grateful for.

This has been a great experience learning how to manage a longer-term project and develop a large game with many moving parts. I've got a lot of things to take with me into my future projects, which will hopefully include a Steam release under my own developer account. Until then, I hope you enjoy!
