01 · Our games

Different worlds.
One creative voice.

Each project begins with a personal fascination or observation, then finds the mechanics and atmosphere that suit it best.

Beach Chair Rumble

(Working title)

The familiar resort ritual of claiming the best lounger becomes a fast party game of flying towels, quick decisions and holiday chaos.

02 · The studio

One creator.
Different worlds.

Luckless Games is my one-person independent game studio in the Netherlands.

I design and develop every project myself, from the original concept and game systems to its visual direction and overall experience. Every game begins with something personal: a fascination, a question or an observation from everyday life. The name comes from LucklessCrayon, the gamertag I have used for as long as I can remember.

01Start personal

Every game begins with something I genuinely find fascinating, funny or worth exploring.

02Design for the experience

The mechanics, atmosphere and pace are built around what the player should feel.

03Let the idea choose the genre

Luckless Games is not tied to one type of game. Each concept takes the form that suits it best.

Original projects.
Looking for the right support.

Luckless Games is open to conversations with publishers who see potential in distinctive, creator-led game concepts. I am particularly interested in support with funding, marketing and console releases while preserving what makes each project original.
