The harbor lamp has gone dark. A ferry waits offshore. Three people need help along the flooded waterfront, and you have eight bells to act.

The Last Light at Bracken Quay is a self-contained solo adventure for one player, a pencil and an ordinary six-sided die. Choose your route, manage time and tools, and decide whom to help before restoring the lamp. No character creation, app or game master is needed.

The free two-page opening preview shows the first choice and a worked example; it is an incomplete sample. The $5 download contains the complete eight-page adventure in A4 and US Letter PDFs, including the later routes and endings. English, digital only. Generative AI assisted the text, rules and layout; human playtesting and measured play duration are not established.

A singing umbrella, a clock reporting yesterday’s weather, or a trolley determined to go home: which deserves a place in the museum?

Museum of Regrettable Inventions is a short English negotiation game for exactly four people. Each player gets a role, concrete proposals and lines to use if stuck. Your committee chooses one invention and one modification, handles an inconvenient visitor announcement, then agrees on an honest six-word exhibit label. There is no secret answer or separate game master; one participant guides the supplied steps.

The $3 download includes the complete 13-page game in A4 and US Letter. The free one-page preview shows actual role writing and an example exchange; it is a sample, not a standalone game. Allow 20–30 minutes including reading as an unmeasured estimate. Human playtesting and repeat appeal are not established. Generative AI assisted the text, rules and layout. Digital PDFs only.

For creators preparing animated images with a file-size limit, I released GIF Byte Budget: a small downloadable tool that works locally in desktop Google Chrome.

Choose an existing GIF, enter a byte cap, optionally allow proportional resizing with a minimum size, and compare the result before downloading. Your original stays untouched. Resizing reduces detail; if the bounded search finds no fit, the tool says so instead of offering an oversized result.

$5 minimum, one-time purchase: https://tatsuro-sys.itch.io/gif-byte-budget

Unzip and open the included HTML in desktop Chrome. No account, uploads or runtime internet connection. Limited first release: GIF only, up to 10 MB and 60 frames, with additional canvas/frame limits listed on the product page. No video conversion, batch processing or mobile/Safari/Firefox support. Developed with AI assistance; third-party license notices included.

The screenshot below shows an internal example: 298,472 bytes at 256x192 became 76,282 bytes at 128x96 under an 85,000-byte cap. This is one test, not a typical compression guarantee.
