Battlebirds (2019-20)

Battlebirds is the spiritual successor the game "Falcon Valley". Rather than produce a sequel, this game was intended to rebuild the bird flying real time racer experience for mobile from the ground up. Features include a stat upgrade system, spells and powers, character classes, AI controlled ghosts of a players fastest runs, leaderboard in which one may challenge these ghosts, a complete over-hall to the art style and UI and much more. Check out some gameplay footage from early 2021:

I spent a lot of my development time on game mechanics. Getting the feeling of flying right across a players campaign of leveling up stats and mastering the gameplay was a process which took a considerable level of scrutiny. I took personal enjoyment in creating a system where you may challenge the best runs from your friends list, or from a global leaderboard. Each time a new fastest time for a particular track was set, the data required to replay the run is saved to our server. This allows anyone to download the data and race an AI controlled version of said run, performing exactly as you did when the fastest time was set.
