Empty Castle is a small, dedicated, one-man studio located in Austin TX. My mission is to captivate players of all ages with playful adventures that offer new ways to play with familiar game concepts. Empty Castle operates on these core values:

​

• Ethical, considerate monetization. No loot boxes, no micro transactions, no software as a service, no day one DLC. Ever.

• Games made with consideration for inclusion, diversity, and accessibility.

• No AI-generated content during development or in any end products.

​

My current project is Jigrift, a cozy, retro, 3D puzzle adventure where you assemble the world like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Bert has spent his life dreaming of finding Jigrift, a lost island inhabited by a tribe of three-eyed voodoo frogs with incredible land-moving powers. And one day he finally crashes ashore! His arrival invokes The Scattering of the island, and it's up to him to put the island's pieces back together to finally call this land his home.

Jigrift will be available on PC in 2026 and is currently available for wishlist on Steam!
