Hello there I am John Szeder.

Here is a page with some interesting random things I have built. Little tools for creators, and little code samples for interesting projects.

John's Character Content Generator is a tool that uses AI... that was generated with AI.

John's Disappointingly timed dice table manager is a COVID project that arrived just in time to die to generative AI.

John's ancient reasonably interesting random map maker

Here is four years of engineering leadership and product... wisdom? I have amassed during my career

Defense of the Oasis is a Game Developer's Game. It was not a commercial success, and it was the winner of an indie award.
Also: One of the more fun projects I had the pleasure of contributing to.

Spellblazer is a simple flash game that answers the question: "Does a good game meta matter?" The answer is: Yes. There was lots of other stuff I learned through shipping this game.

Polly Painter is an adorable bubble popping game!

Jelly Sweeper is an adorable cozy puzzle game, find the jelly fish but dont get stung!

Duckshot is another early game that was nominated for awards, that did extremely well.
