We are officially game developers! The company Kennedy Bros. Games LLC is official and we've got our bank account working. Our first game is a futuristic combat game; a hybrid hovercart racer & deathmatch FPS. Check the gallery to see some early test footage of the game!
I finished my first software today. After two weeks of working in Claude Code, I created a comprehensive WAD texture suite.
WAD Toolkit is a cross-platform, local-only studio for Quake texture WADs. Browse a WAD in a thumbnail grid and edit any texture in a full pixel editor — paint and selection tools, crop, color adjustments, a hue/gradient clipboard, and one-click conversion to lava, water, or sky with engine-correct names and sizes. Organize and merge textures across multiple WADs and export to WAD2 or PAK. A fullbright-pixel cleanup converter rounds out the suite. You can find it here:

At some point, we knew we were going to have to move MK4 and Tekken Tag out in the garage to join the others. We moved both out there on the hottest day of summer. Twas a bitch. But we had all the games together finally and they fit perfectly. Check out the gallery to see pics.
The LAN party table was built about two years ago and has been one of the best investments. We've gotten a ton of use out of it. At the Houston Arcade Expo in 2023, a guy had a LAN party setup with Quake III and I had completely forgotten how much fun it was. In 2000 through 2002, we participated in a few LAN parties at different friends'houses, but we hadn't done it ever since until the Expo in 2023. We played the usual stages in Quake III for about an hour and had a blast and needed a similar setup in our garage arcade. Head to the gallery to see the images of the table.
Since July 2024, my brother and I have been building out our garage to be a crazy man cave. It started out with a CRT TV with a PS2, then we started collecting arcade games, then we started custom building our own cabinets, and finally setup a 4 to 5 player LAN party network for gaming. We even have a live streaming podcast set up now. Check the photo gallery to see the first day we actually got Quake 3 fired up. Will post more photos here often.
This was written in Jan. 2025. The song was in my head while driving home from work. I fleshed it all out in my head while driving for about 2 hours. I figured it out on guitar then tabbed it into Guitar Pro.
This is the first song I created using the Sonicware Liven Mega Synthesis. This device has been a good alternative to doing everything on a computer. Being able to have a standalone device that produces these effects has been a lot of fun.
