Four of Michael's projects side by side: the ha·ggis Hub bothy at sunset, the Wild Haggis Survivors main menu, the AccentGuessr globe, and the IdleScape 3D world

Michael

I make playable things, and the engines underneath them.

Small worlds you can walk into, most of them with a Scottish accent. Mostly Rust and TypeScript, with a soft spot for the parts other folk skip: the deterministic core, the hash written by hand, the sprite drawn in code rather than shipped as a PNG.

🎮 Live now

The ha·ggis Hub bothy — a Highland cottage interior at sunset with a lit hearth and the wee crowned haggis Wild Haggis Survivors main menu, its title glowing over a darkening moor
ha·ggis Hub
Walk up to a door, give it a tap, and you're in a game. ha + ggis = haggis.
Rust + WebAssembly core · hand-rolled Canvas2D renderer · strict TypeScript host
▶ Play it live
Wild Haggis Survivors
A Highland-at-dusk bullet heaven. Your haggis has famously uneven legs, so every step drifts a few degrees clockwise.
Phaser 4 + TypeScript · every sprite drawn in code · English & Scots · deterministic replays
▶ Play it live

Also live: Just Five More Minutes — a 2004-flavoured bedroom RPG with a daft wee MMO running on the CRT while your mum asks you, three separate times, to tidy your room. Three.js, generated entirely at runtime.

Also public: Project-Euler-Clanker — 138 maths problems wearing far too much architecture, after an AI got hold of them.

🔨 In the workshop

Private while they grow. Each one goes public when it's good and ready.

Project What it is
AccentGuessr GeoGuessr for voices. Two players hear a stranger speak and race to pin the accent on a world map. A Rust→WASM client, a WebGPU globe built from scratch, a binary protocol of its own, and not one npm package.
IdleScape Old School RuneScape, but idle — and playing out in an actual 3D world instead of a spreadsheet. Go tick engine, React + WebGL client.
plex-for-discord Watch Plex together inside Discord, properly in sync. A four-crate Rust workspace with its own Discord Gateway client and a WASM/Leptos activity.
Kittiwake A small, honest site for an off-grid hut on the Isle of Mull. Astro + Tailwind, and nothing it doesn't need.
