🎲 DeevGames

A two-player simultaneous-action artillery duel on a 3-zone track. Cards play as Move, Feint, or Fire; after any maneuver your opponent sees translucent ghost tanks for both possible positions. Even overheating damage can be faked. Wrapped in a full community site with matchmaking, guest accounts, and a chat thread that doubles as the game's narrated action log.

Two players bid astrological symbols from a closed, non-renewable budget on cards in an unbounded grid that expands wherever cards are bought. Every purchase can be contested: counter-bid at cost+1, final-bid at cost+2 — and if you're outbid, you keep your turn. Burn cards for free to leave permanent adjacency-blocking ruins. Nearly all victory points are conditional and scored only at game end.

Go × Chess × StarCraft on a 10×10 grid, as it stands in September 2026. Each turn: spend four shared actions moving and fighting, then mine every square your units stand on and pay your army’s upkeep, then promote pieces and commit new ones. A purchase is a public summon — type, square and price visible — that only arrives a full turn later, and refunds in full if your opponent takes the square or breaks its support first. Your spawn zone stretches from your corner to any unit you anchor it on, and a single enemy inside blocks it entirely. Cells hold a finite crystal reserve that never refills; a miner is a claim on ground, not a faucet. The game is perfect information, so the interesting question stopped being "what is he hiding" and became "what can he prove" — which is what the analysis tools answer, with bounded proofs that say proven possible, proven impossible, or honestly unknown.

A mobile-first roguelike designed for 5–10 minute runs: elemental combat, draft one gem of three between rooms, choose hard paths for better rarity, boss at room ten. Enemies show when they'll act on a visible timeline but never what they'll do — behaviors are learned by observation. At the time of these notes, only the V0 combat core was built. Its legacy included a rigorous layout-invariance testing methodology (pixel-level geometry assertions, reserved space for conditional content) now used portfolio-wide.

A roguelite where your army of creature stacks is your life bar: no per-fight HP resets, just attrition across a seeded run. Climb a calendar-structured map (one node = one day, acts = weeks, the weekly reinforcement Muster always lands right before a Monday boss). Two-rank battles with the classic attack/defense damage curve, budgeted retaliation, and a stat trinity where speed becomes dodge, luck becomes crit, and morale becomes extra actions — unless your undead army locks morale to zero and leans on luck instead.

The deck designs itself. After each inner game, both players — you and a live Claude opponent — blind-design one new card each; an agent then writes the card's code into the running game, gated by tests. The loser decides the round's fate: KEEP (both designs survive) or STEAL (a two-pick raid where spurned designs are destroyed, stealing back your own creation executes it, and up to four cards can go extinct at once). Every effect ever designed is claimed forever, so simple ideas are land-grabbed early and late rounds turn baroque.

A time-loop farming RPG: farm, fish, mine, and befriend villagers through one repeating Monday-to-Sunday week. Score is money times hearts — lopsided runs can't win. When the loop resets, your knowledge, achievements, and boost level persist; and if you fail to beat your high score, your luck stat rises instead, improving the odds of finding the rule-bending magical mytheggs. The whole world — 182 items, 205 dialogue lines, villager schedules — lives in versioned CSV snapshots.

A cozy idle/automation game on a two-layer isometric world — sunlit surface, crystal-veined underground, connected by holes you dig. You can carry exactly one thing at a time, which is the whole point: the game is graduating from hand-delivery to drawing leylines along which resource motes flow to source plants, transmute plants, and an endgame portal. Day/night lighting, weather that feeds crops, and a full idle simulation that greets you back after time away.

A tablet-friendly quiz app for kids: Mohs hardness, mineral formulas, geologic time, rock families, ores & metals — each deck playable as flip-card training or multiple-choice tests with same-deck distractors and a review list. Best scores persist per deck and direction; perfection earns a crown. Quietly grew an entire periodic-table gauntlet mode beyond the original scope.

A laser-routing puzzle where color is a bitmask: red OR green reads yellow, on-screen and in the engine alike. World 1 teaches mirrors, splitters, filters, and linked toggles; World 2 inverts the problem with composite glass (subtractive logic) and poison beams — overfed sockets fail, so the solve becomes diverting the surplus. All twenty levels are machine-verified solvable-but-not-pre-solved by a standalone Node script.

LUMENGRID's predecessor: grid-based live beam simulation with mirrors, prisms, and a multi-input combiner, targeting exact colors where over-mixing fails. Mechanically superseded, but its sandbox mode and combiner never carried forward — a documented reminder that successor games shed good ideas unless you audit the predecessor.

A honeycomb grid where you click cells in numbered sequence. Mechanically thin, but historically significant: the origin of the "code me up a puzzle in React" collaboration pattern, and the axial-coordinate hex rendering code still waiting for a hex tactics game to claim it.

A Moonlighter-style delve-and-shop loop with one twist that changes everything: every gem has a condition-dependent half-life. Stock decays on the shelf; stacking hot gems risks critical mass; a gem's remaining decay can be spent as casting mana. Fully art-directed down to a pixel-art fold-out poster with a decay-map taxonomy. The one project with an explicit prototype request already on file.

An LLM-as-game-engine research program: ten prototypes from a coin-flip narrator (can one bit of entropy be made to matter?) up to a full text-only Mage engine that parses free-text intent, validates it against Sphere mechanics and local consensus reality, scores Paradox risk, and narrates through each character's paradigm filter. Named failure modes: the yes-to-everything narrator and the tyrannical reviewer.

Four prototype-ready mechanics: Layerlink (chat with two revisions of the same character at once — one degrading, one who doesn't know you), Peeling (scrape scenes back to earlier revisions at a Fidelity cost), a personality parser with its own character, and Annotation — write messages to "the Author" and watch an actual LLM misinterpret them. The alignment gap is the gameplay.

A two-player co-op deckbuilder for phones, built for 10–20 minute turn-based sessions between two parents around the kids. Aeon's End lineage, deliberately combat-free: nurture plants, guide hungry animals elsewhere, pull weeds. Sacrifice economics — feed doomed plants to animals to protect the high-value crops. First-prototype card list already sketched.

Randall Collins' Interaction Ritual Chains theory as a rhythm roguelike: geometric beings grow through social encounters staged as musical synchronization challenges, accumulating emotional energy — the theory's own resource — from every successful sync.

Two related sketches. Elemental Magic Chess layers elemental effects and spectacle over standard chess. Dynamic Piece Strength is a mechanic in search of a game: pieces gain or lose power by move recency — exhausted (−25%) after moving, prepared (+15%) for waiting, rusted for idling too long, energized by power-ups — making tempo itself a per-piece stat.

The 2013 site's rules engine reserved slots for three games; only Ninja Tanks shipped. Blind Loyalty and Hex Strike remain names with lost designs — though Hex Strike's name promises the hex-grid tactics itch nothing in the portfolio has yet scratched, and the axial-coordinate hex code already exists.
