Philadelphia-based Multiskilled Builder of Websites, Apps, and Award-Winning Indie Games
I am a lifelong game designer, an IndieCade award winner for Game Design, and an Instructor of Game Design at Drexel University. Featured in Kotaku, VICE, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more, I previously collaborated with renowned designer Maddy Thorson (Celeste), and my character RunMan was featured as a playable character in the hugely popular Super Meat Boy.
I mostly create games in GameMaker or Unity(C#), and I do all my own art and design. Check out my games at tomsennettgames.com.
Additionally, I am the creator of thedartsapp.com, a fast, free scorekeeper for playing darts. This app was built in vanilla HTML+CSS+JS and is optimized for all kinds of screen sizes and devices. I was inspired to create thedartsapp.com after trying a variety of web and native mobile apps for darts scorekeeping. It prioritizes speed, readability, and simplicity.
After evaluating many JavaScript frameworks, I decided to make my own, inspired by game development engines. UPYOURS is a lightweight JavaScript framework for adding real-time interactivity to a web page using a global update loop. Simply define a function for a CSS selector, and each frame, all matching elements will run that function. UPYOURS can be used to make apps and simple games, and will soon power a new version of thedartsapp.com.
I design and sell Philly-themed shirts at PHLSWAG.com.
I am available for freelance and consulting opportunities. If you have a project in mind, feel free to email me.
