Welcome to Lazy Brain Games! This site is committed to my new “quick prototype” games, if you’re looking for some of my classics, check out the Golden Beast Studios site, which has all my “full” games here

My goal is to make 1 game every week on my days  off from work. So, I’ve already imposed a number of limitations on myself to make the 1 week deadline. I’m only going to use a very basic NES color palette and resolution, with mainly 8 bit synths and SFXs. So everything ought to have a pretty retro feel to it. The Lazy Brain Games logo is an example of how some of the stuff will look…

I’m still setting up this site, so check back weekly or subscribe!
