About

Heyo! Welcome to the Lartunet, Lartu's corner of the internet. Here you'll find information about games and software I've worked on. Me? I make videogames and other code stuff. I love food and rainy days. Thank you for passing by!

2023

Eterspire
Eterspire (iOS & Android, 2023)
A complete, graphically superior rewrite of Eterspire, focused on questing, befriending wacky characters, exploring, and upgrading your gear. We felt the game was now more suited for mobile devices, so we took the leap. Dubbed "the best mobile MMORPG in the history of the universe".

2021

Eterspire: Return of Salgaraak
Eterspire: Return of Salgaraak (Web & Windows, 2021)
(No longer playable, linked to archived version)
Known initially as Eterspire - Beta II, it was a complete overhaul of Eterspire, focused on exploring a world and completing quests. It started as a hobby project with a friend before eventually becoming our full-time job. Offline since the release of Eterspire (2023).
Eterspire - Beta I
Eterspire "Beta I" (Web, 2021) No Longer Playable
(No longer playable, linked to archived version)
A minimal MMORPG about exploring an infinite tower, fighting monsters, finding equipment, and climbing higher than everyone else. Made over the course of four months. Eventually replaced by Eterspire: Return of Salgaraak.

2020

Soft Drizzle: B-Track
Soft Drizzle: B-Track (Windows & macOS, 2020)
A short visual novel about friendship and Halloween Festivals. Sequel to Soft Drizzle. Made in a month for the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam. Awarded Best Unity Submission.
Soft Drizzle
Soft Drizzle (Web, 2020)
A short, 64x64 resolution visual novel about friendship and rainy days, made in 7 days for LOWREZJAM 2020. Full of typos, as the screenplay was written during a long, coffee fueled night writing session.
Fateful Lore
Fateful Lore (Android & iOS, 2020)
Critically acclaimed retro-inspired RPG for Android and iOS devices. We found no RPGs on these platforms that looked and played the way we wanted, so we made one.
Polaris
Polaris (2020)
A minimal, experimental stack-based, concatenative, interpreted programming language with strings as its only data type. Written in C++98, designed to run on Unix systems, backported to MS-DOS.

2019

LDPL
LDPL (2019)
A COBOL-inspired programming language, designed to be expressive, readable, fast and easy to learn. Considered complete and in minimal evolution mode since LDPL 5.

2014

Eternal Lux
Eternal Lux (Android, 2014)
A mobile SRPG for Android Devices inspired by the Ultima games. Designed to be as lightweight as possible. Downloaded by tens of thousands of people worldwide.

2013

Adinia: An Epic Adventure!
Aidinia: An Epic Adventure! (Android, 2013)
A mobile RPG for Android Devices inspired by Gameboy Color RPGs such as Dragon Quest I & II and Lufia.
