Use magic spells and military surplus explosives to topple an evil crime syndicate hidden beneath a prestigious wizarding school. Learn spells, engage in espionage, and spread lore-unfriendly chaos.
Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate is a comedic sandbox with a complete lack of safety nets or boundaries. Players are free to indulge in the full abject chaos of untethered physics simulations and uncontainable emergent gameplay, using a toolkit of magical spells and items to solve problems in ways we cannot hope to balance against.
Wizard Boy can also team up with other Wizard Boys in cooperative(?) multiplayer to explore (blow up) the castle together and thwart the evil International crime syndicate S.P.I.D.E.R once and for all!
FEATURES
A multitude of spells to learn and inflict on others
Chaotic, barely contained physics-based mayhem
Open-ended goals to accomplish (or ignore) however you see fit
Online co-op, although actual cooperation is unlikely
Retro-themed third person action, straight from the days of Unreal Engine 1
A troubled loner with a hunger for cinematic gore finds himself on the other side of the camera when rumors of authentic snuff videotapes lead him to an abandoned cabin near Butcher's Creek, Pennsylvania. What starts as illicit urban exploration becomes a fight for survival when
A troubled loner with a hunger for cinematic gore finds himself on the other side of the camera when rumors of authentic snuff videotapes lead him to an abandoned cabin near Butcher's Creek, Pennsylvania. What starts as illicit urban exploration becomes a fight for survival when he's captured by a gang of sadistic killers. Now his only option is to pick up a box cutter, a hammer, a pickaxe, or whatever else is at hand, and unleash a little video violence of his own.
FEATURES
Use hammers, axes, pipes, 2x4s, box cutters, and more to brutalize anything that stands between you and freedom
When all else fails, the level itself can be a weapon. Kick props into enemies, or enemies into environment hazards.
Photograph gruesome murder scenes to fulfill your dark desires and regain lost health
Explore decaying farmhouses, collapsing factories, and seedy strip clubs in a forgotten corner of the Appalachian Forest
Experience a unique aesthetic combining the gritty shot-on-video look of found footage with the photosourced visual style of Source Engine games

And so Wizard Boy started his first year at Wizard School, trying to uncover the mysteries that lay before him.

He called out to hell, and hell answered. The human body could, hell promised, be twisted and stretched into a kinder, more equine shape. Winston's town, now filled with ignorant hate-mongers, could instead be filled with magical ponies, if he could provide a factory in which to make them. Winston thought they would be beautiful, gentle, and good.
Hell had other plans...
The Pony Factory is a short action/horror game inspired by Doom 3, with a darkly comedic story, striking black and white visual style, and visceral FPS gameplay. This is an updated standalone release of the original game, which was created in 7 days as part of the Dread X Collection 1.
FEATURES
Meaty FPS combat against highly agile foes who will attempt to evade and flank you.
Darkness is your enemy! Use muzzle flashes, sparks, sound, and other clues to track foes during combat.
High contrast black and white aesthetic inspired by early 1950's science fiction films.
A short minimalist campaign that can be completed in about 30 minutes.
Numerous improvements from the original release, including many new quality of life features, balance and game feel improvements, new story and gameplay content, full gamepad support, and of course bugfixes!
My brother John Szymanski (director of My Friendly Neighborhood) assisted with this version and will be receiving half of the royalties in an effort to provide him with enough income to continue game development until he begins receiving money from MFN.
John also released his own game today: a tense puzzle/horror game called Exiled:

Like it or not, 'boomer shooters' are here to stay. Steam now officially recognizes the moniker as the go-to description for the throwback FPS games, with Valve adding the term as a Steam category that developers and users can tag games with. It's a term that signifies a throwback to the heady days of classic, fast-paced shooters such as Doom, Quake, Hexen, and Heretic, typically matched with retro graphics reminiscent of the '90s and early '00s.

Well, technically it will be one year old on December 12th, but that's two days after both Dusk and Doom are having big anniversary milestones so... we're doing a Chop Goblins anniversary celebration today instead!
Here's what the Anniversary Update brings to the game...
NEW WEAPONS
Enjoy two powerful new weapons... the Scattergun and the Six Shooter.
These will replace the Flintlock and Street Sweeper respectively if you turn on "Alt Weapons" on the difficulty selection screen, but you can still use both the Flintlock and Street Sweeper by hitting the corresponding weapon selection key twice.
Which means that it is now both easy and effective to quickswap between all six weapons, if you want to try playing Chop Goblins like it's Doom Eternal. You should, it's fun.
BETTER DAGGER
A bit, at least. The dagger now attacks slightly faster and does slightly more damage, allowing you to consistently one-shot low level enemies (i.e the annoying brown ones) and better deflect projectiles.
CHOKE UPGRADE NOW IN MAIN LEVELS
The Street Sweeper's choke upgrade, previously found only in the bonus levels, can now be acquired in the original campaign as well. I don't actually remember where I put it though. Someone let me know.
THE GAME RUNS BETTER
Most of you will probably have to take my word for it, but Chop Goblins should run better on lower end machines now, thanks to a collection of different optimizations and tweaks under the hood.
CELEBRATE ONE YEAR OF MURDERING CHOP GOBLINS
I wanted to try getting maybe a bonus level and/or a free release of all the game assets done as part of this update also, but I just didn't end up having the time with the new baby and all. But hopefully you enjoy the new weapons, and jumping back in to celebrate one year of wholesale goblin slaughter. While Chop Goblins isn't the most successful, the deepest, or the best game I've made, it's one I'm extremely fond of, and I've enjoyed supporting it with new content and fixes. Only time will tell what else the future holds for the goblins...

A lonely man living in a remote cabin wakes up one day and realizes his beloved--a dismembered corpse nailed to the cabin wall--has been made ugly and rotten by the flies that swarm her. He wishes she were beautiful, like the squirrels of the wood. And so he sets out to hunt the squirrels of the wood, so that he might staple them to her and make her beautiful again.
Originally created as part of The Dread X Collection II, Squirrel Stapler is a horror hunting simulator that satirizes low budget edutainment games with pitch black humor and panic-inducing absurdist horror, and a new and improved standalone version is coming September 15th!
IN SQUIRREL STAPLER YOU CAN...
Hunt squirrels! Move quietly, hide in bushes, stay low, and pick the right time to pull the trigger!
Lure even bigger squirrels with a squirrel call!
Be wary of larger creatures and vengeful ghosts! You aren't the only alpha predator in the forest!
Freely explore a large nonlinear map littered with educational squirrel facts and more!
