ARON PENCE / INDEPENDENT GAME DEVELOPER
I make games.
Dungeon Flop is the big one.
An RTS meets D&D, built around co-op dungeon disasters, hired adventurers, permanent consequences, and player-made everything.
Dungeon Flop and Tall Folk are the active builds. Hold Until Dawn is the most game-forward thing I’ve made. Wagon Crawl is an ASCII fever dream. Every one of them is strange for a different reason.
