*Disclaimer: These games are prototypes for private use. They are not currently available for sale. Some of the games include clipart and/or AI-generated artwork simply to convey a vibe for the game. If a game was to be "picked up" by a publisher, it would undergo numerous changes, including actual artwork from a real artist. Certain games, such as Almost Heaven and Journey to Eagle, would likely require collaboration with trademark holders for permission to use certain terms and/or designs.
