Obby Studio is one person
That's me, Zach. I make software and games, mostly the things I actually want to use.
The studio
Right now that's a space sim, a DJ console with a radio station built in, a management app for an auto shop, and other projects taking shape. Different things, all built for me first.
In my own words, the mission:
we serve mostly myself for now but open source nerds in the future.
Code and licenses
Defalt and GarageMaster have MIT-licensed code on GitHub. OpenAnvil has a public placeholder repository with the same code license. Firstlight's repo is private for now.
Art, music and other creative assets are excluded. Third-party material keeps its own license. Check each repository's LICENSE and LICENSE-SCOPE.md before reusing anything.
About me
I'm Zach, and I'm in California. By day I work at a pharmaceutical company, I'm also a nursing student, and once my eight hours are up I'm mostly bedrotting at home. Everything on this site gets built in whatever time is left.
I have ADHD, so most of this runs on dopamine and mild annoyance. I'll be deep into a game or an app I love, hit a feature that should be there and isn't, and end up building it myself. That's more or less how every project here started.
It also shapes how I design. Firstlight's interface is built focus-first: fewer things competing for attention, and everything stays where you left it.
What I'm looking for: playtesters for Firstlight once the first playable is out, feedback from anyone using Defalt or GarageMaster, people who want to talk shop, and eventually open source contributors. Apply to playtest, or use the links below.
