NOW IN DEVELOPMENT
Games that make chores heroic. Tools that rescue dead computers. A railway god-engineer back from the dead.
One workshop. Far too many ideas.
Boot it. It tells you what's wrong.
An AI-assisted rescue system for field engineers. Boot a broken PC from SysMedic and in about a minute it explains the fault in plain English, then helps you fix it, while the customer's disks stay protected against any write you haven't allowed.
Chorewars. Win at the washing-up.
A household role-playing game in mixed reality. Clean the kitchen, mow the lawn, and see exactly what you covered. Points, streaks and a small sense of triumph where there was once only dread.
Your living room is now a piste.
An augmented-reality fencing trainer. Practise footwork, blade work and timing against a virtual opponent in your own space.
Brunel is back. He is not pleased.
A mythic-industrial civil engineering game and cinematic universe. A catastrophic HS2 blunder tears open the nation's under-infrastructure, and a resurrected Isambard Kingdom Brunel sets out to rebuild Britain's railways, armed with Victorian genius, righteous fury and a stolen horse.
Big ideas. Tiny bits.
Small games for learning how computers really work, toys first and lessons second. Play with bits, nibbles and bytes until the penny drops. Starring NibBall, a room-filling AR game where errant balls have consequences for your windows.
Philosophers. Football. Debate.
A virtual debating arena where AI philosophers argue in turns while you chair, Monty Python style. Slow thinking is a feature.
There's danger here.
A VR tabletop football manager spanning the whole of English football, from the first FA Cup in 1871 and the Football League in 1888. Named after the Victorian “scientific” passing game.
A tribute to a rugby referee.
A tribute site to the Welsh rugby referee Albert Edwin Freethy.
The Monty Python sketch, now playable. Glorious 8-bit sprites and a last-minute goal against the Germans.
A Unity game inspired by 1970s football. Scope and design first.
Throw a party with the AIs. Bump into a guest, start a fight, throw a decorative swan.
A full Second Life viewer for Meta Quest 3, built in Unity 6.
A VR horror-chase experience driven by live BeamNG telemetry. You are the reason it woke up.
Ballymena, Felsted and Maldon, built from OpenStreetMap and public terrain data.
Supervise a Worx Landroid Vision robot mower from a Quest headset. Research stage.
A children's bedtime story in 25 chapters, in a little web reader.
A kid-friendly 3D printer “replicator”: it makes what you imagine, if you answer the school questions.
The Jurassic Park computer system, lovingly recreated. Spared no expense.
Network health for primary-school trainee techs: loud colours, Comic Sans and real evidence.
A bootable AI-assisted rescue ISO for APFS and HFS+ drives.
A Secure Boot-friendly replacement for FOG's imaging environment.
A bootable USB repair stick for FOG-imaged Linux servers and Windows PCs.
A command line, API and dashboard for running BeamMP game servers.
A modern GlusterFS cluster inspector, descended from gstatus.
Mount GlusterFS volumes as Windows drive letters through a Linux bridge.
A working Linux driver set-up for the Dell XPS 15 9570 fingerprint reader.
A quick build recipe for the BeamMP launcher on Linux.
Read-only telemetry from a SolaX hybrid inverter.
One friendly front door for all my home-lab services.
PowerShell framework for harvesting and managing driver packages for imaged fleets.
Turns every machine on your network into one distributed AI cluster.
A Blake's 7 inspired supercomputer: a perspex cube commanding a fleet of language models.
A Blake's 7 themed debugging toolset for game developers.
A digital twin and AI wingman for AR game design and code.
Say an idea into your phone and it lands in the right GitHub repo.
Talk to the AI fleet through Meta Ray-Ban glasses.
Tell it what's in the fridge. It plans the week's suppers.
A business-in-a-box as a 2D office staffed by AI colleagues.
Email an AI and get a friendly, thoughtful reply.
Scans my repositories and ranks what's worth building next.
A virtual learning path for a career in IT.
Craicken is where the ideas get built: games, tools and a fair few experiments, made with a lot of tinkering and a swarm of AI helpers. Everything here is a work in progress — some of it is a sketch, some of it already runs. If it makes someone grin, it stays.
