Center Ice Hockey
Releasing 25 Sep 2026
A fast, physical arcade ice hockey game releasing on Steam on 25 September 2026. Launch blistering slapshots and saucer passes, hit opponents down onto the ice, then drop the gloves to answer the call. Features a multi-season career mode with create-a-player and skill points, a full team and player editor with roster sets saved to disk, and both local split-screen and online multiplayer.
The project began in 2020 as a 2D game built for mobile. After deciding to move the target platform to PC and release on Steam, I rebuilt it in 3D - a shift that reached everything from rendering and animation to the physics of skating, shooting, and body checks - while keeping the arcade feel of the original design.
The client is built in Unity with C# and supports single player, local split-screen, and online multiplayer, including playing a career alongside friends. The team and player editor serialises roster sets to disk, so custom leagues can be saved, reloaded, and shared between players.
Ski Jump Champions
Released
A 2D ski jumping game released on Steam, featuring serverless online competitions, daily leaderboards, and season management. Inspired by the classic Ski Jump International series, with intuitive controls and both local and online game modes.
The backend is fully serverless: Azure Functions handles jump result validation, style point calculation (computed server-side to prevent cheating), leaderboard management, and daily hill rotation. PlayFab manages player authentication via Steam, persistent data storage, and scheduled tasks that trigger Azure Functions automatically.
The Unity/C# client authenticates through Steamworks SDK and communicates with the backend over HTTPS. CI/CD is automated with GitHub Actions, deploying backend changes to Azure on every push to main. Through development and launch, operational costs have stayed at zero - the serverless model scales spending with actual player activity.
