Big games
from the holler.
A one-person studio in the Kentucky mountains, building games, apps, and content — with AI as a co-pilot, not a crutch.
One studio, a lot of creations
Games are the heart of it — but the same craft goes into apps, content, and the AI tools that power the whole pipeline.
Games you can play right now
Holler at Ya Boy!
Original arcade vehicular combat that runs in your browser — 25 everyday vehicles turned war machines, each with its own driver, fighting last-one-running across four hand-built arenas. Its other half is Free Ride: eight drivable stretches of real Knott County, Kentucky, baked from state GIS and LiDAR so every building stands where a real building stands.
Everlight
A browser action-defense roguelite. You play the monster the village once feared, defending eighteen villagers who cannot fight back. Your health bar is the Everlight itself — a shrine light that is also the light you see by, so as you lose, the village goes dark around you.
Gnarly Nutmeg
Fast arcade soccer with bots that actually play, a real commentary booth, and a knockout cup you can host with friends.
Squishy Smash
The family franchise, and the one that goes everywhere: a Roblox world, a free iPhone game where every squish reveals part of a 48-card collection, and a picture book with a free read-along in a dad's voice.
Building in public
Short clips, devlogs, and behind-the-scenes — made with our own video pipeline.
Real person. Real place. AI as a tool.
AppalachAI is Appalachia + AI. I'm a solo developer from the hills of Kentucky using AI to ship more of what I love — not to replace the craft. Labor below, light above.
