Games
Some of the games that I have worked on over the years. You can learn more about each by clicking through to the dedicated pages.
Water Closet is a 2D platform puzzle game, where you must guide Walter Chambers to safety.
Three Guys is a puzzle game involving Three Guys: Red, Yellow, and Green. Red is feeling hungry, so he recruits two of his pals to help him look for diamonds, for lunch. Along the way, the Guys will need to use their skills to build bridges, push blocks, avoid traps, find keys to open doors, use teleporters, dodge lasers, and all sort of other things. The game features 100 levels of brain-teasing puzzles.
A video game based on the BATTLE FOR THE SOLAR SYSTEM novel trilogy. Set between THE THIRD SIDE and THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE STRONG, the player takes on the role of multiple pilots in this mission-based shooter. Currently still under development, the game is open source and available for a number of different platforms.
An entry in the Blob Wars saga. The game takes place between Metal Blob Solid and Blob And Conquer, and once again sees Bob fighting back against the BioMech menace that is rampaging across his homeworld.
The Legend of Edgar is a platform game, not unlike those found on the Amiga and SNES. Edgar must battle his way across the world, solving puzzles and defeating powerful enemies to achieve his quest. When Edgar's father fails to return home after venturing out one dark and stormy night, Edgar fears the worst: he has been captured by the evil sorcerer who lives in a fortress beyond the forbidden swamp.
Blob and Conquer is the second episode of the Blob Wars saga. Following on from where Metal Blob Solid ends, the story sees the Blobs take the fight to the BioMechs. Featuring full 3D environments, AI buddies, and epic battles, Blob and Conquer goes a step beyond the first entry in the series.
Metal Blob Solid is a non-linear 2D mission and objective platform game in which you take on the role of fearful blob warrior Bob, as he fights back against an alien invader to his world and rescues his fellow MIA blobs.
Project: Starfighter is a multi-directional 2D shoot 'em up, with an intricate plot and a non-linear mission system. Take on the role of Chris Bainfield as he attempts to fight back against the evil WEAPCO corporation and free the galaxy from their oppressive rule.
TANX Squadron is a 2D turn based strategy game for the Amiga. It was the last game that Parallel Realities produced from the computer, but also our most fondly remembered. In the game, the player must lead a squadron of 10 vehicles in a fight back against the alien invader to Earth. Inspired by UFO: Enemy Unknown, this game won Amiga Format's monthly prize for best reader contribution in 1999.
Medals / Achievements / Trophies
Metal Blob Solid features an in-game achievement system (known as Medals) that has some online functionality.
