Who is Dog-Sama?
Welcome to the official website of THE Dog-Sama! I'm a game developer and sound designer with a passion for my work.
The name Dog-Sama originates from an old Flip-Note I made back in highschool in the back of band class, featuring a terribly drawn Goofy head obliterating Donald Duck. Episode 2 needed a proper foil to Goofy's murderous intents, so the hero "Dog-Sama" was born out of a lack of ideas; an incredibly stiff poodle with unimaginable combat prowess. About a year later I started using it as my online username, because it's ridiculous and I find it funny.
More about me!
Being a game programmer, SURELY I'd have some games you could try out... and I do! If you look to your left (or featured on the towel you just scrolled past if you're on moblie), you'll be able to find a big list of games that I've had an hand in making! it's not entirely up-to-date as I'm constantly working on new projects, some of which see the light of day, others... not so much, but the one's that do are always featured on my itch.io
One that I'm particularly proud of is Rascal Rumble! The best way to describe it is a cross between Kirby Air Ride's "City Trial" mode and Sonic Adventure's Chao Garden, and if either of those names ring a bell, I KNOW you'll want to try this out.
I'm not much of an artist, but trust me it plays better than it looks! The current version you see here was originally a final project in one of my classes, but I'm currently in the process of rebuilding it from the ground up in Godot 4, fixing bugs and spaghetti-code to make it better suited to being a long-term project.
While I'd love to have it br my primary focus of attention, duty calls elsewhere :/ so the new project really only gets updates when I find the time to work on it. Updates on the new version (dubbed "Rascal Rumble EX" for the time being) can be found here, and you can even play it yourself in the browser! (I fear there isn't much "game" in the game yet, though... "soon" to come...)
