Description
\nNarod Discord Bot (NDB) is a main application and a set of libraries for creating your very own discord bot as quickly as possible.
\nIt features various sub libraries, such as one which allows you to late load other libraries, another handling embeds, and even a very early attempt at a custom scripting language to bring down the barrier of creating a Discord bot.
\nIt powers my own Discord bot, known as Ignim, which I've built a series of custom modules for, expanding functionality to audio and Discord server administration.
\nWhilst it hasn't received any updates to present, it was a re-write of a earlier personal project of building a Discord bot, which begun back in 2017. Therefore, it comes after a lot of previous iteration work that did most of the groundwork.

\nNarod Resolution Utility (NRU for short) is a simple utility that allows NVIDIA users, specifically those with super ultrawide monitors like the Samsung G9 and G9 Neo, to add custom resolutions for their monitor.
\nThis is useful as not all games correctly support these very wide resolutions, and support for more useful resolutions isn't always an option. This forcibly adds them as options in the NVIDIA driver, so you can use them.
\nAs of April 2026, it hasn't received any updates as it works pretty much exactly how it needs to.

Description
\nShiftOS was an ambitious game based on the idea of a game that evolves as you progress through the story. The idea at a high-level was that you would do things inside this operating system interface to improve it and allow you to progress, unlocking new parts of the story and new ways to progress.
\nShiftOS was developed by many different people over its life. It began as a project from a YouTuber known as OSFirstTimer, and was then handed over to the community as he was unable to continue development. I was co-lead of a very early team in that process of being handed over, and I would roughly estimate I was no longer involved by 2015 / 2016 or so.
\nUnfortunately, I'm not 100% certain on the final version I worked on, although it was probably 0.0.9 Alpha 1 based on available source code.
\nAs part of the development team, I worked on and oversaw various additions and improvements to the game, including bug fixes, new utilities and progression being added.
\nAfter my leave from the development team, ShiftOS restarted development from scratch various times under new and different development teams, with the final version with the 'ShiftOS' name coming to an end in 2017.

\nComputer Shop Simulator is a game about fixing computers from customers, who may be slightly less computer literate. Quash viruses, repair damaged parts and fight against Blue Screens of Deaths in order to make a computer shop with reputation.
\nI used this as a way to teach myself game development via Unreal Engine 4 blueprints. These allow a low-code way of creating games, with what amounts of a drag & drop interface. The game was heavily inspired by other games in the genre, such as Hardware Engineers.
\nThe game received over 15 updates of varying sizes, introducing new gameplay elements and virtual operating systems to fix!

Description
\nYet Another TruckersMP Launcher (YART) was a launcher for the popular multiplayer mod, TruckersMP, for the Euro Truck Simulator 2 game. It was built from the ground-up to include extra functionality missed from the official launcher, such as a detailed server status page, better update tracking, looking up of players details and other planned functionality.
\nAs I began to play the game less and less, I decided to stop work on the launcher. Subsequent changes to the API it calls means that the launcher does not have the full functionality it did when first developed. The regular TruckersMP launcher also improved in the meantime, making 3rd party launchers less relevant.
\nThe launcher is open-source under the MIT license. It stopped receiving updates in 2017, though received a one-off update in September 2022 to fix vulnerabilities in the third party packages used, as well as moving to the ngserve.games domain.

\nThis SpaceSaver utility merges your Fallout 4 VR and Fallout 4 installs in order to save space.
\nIt does this by verifying both sets of files, from Fallout 4 and the VR version of the game, to find identical files. Once these are identified, it copies these in to a separate directory and symlinks the files back to their regular locations. This means to the games, they're completely unaware that any change has happened. To the user, this allows them to save space.
\nThe SpaceSaver utility has been received 4 updates since release in March 2021, with over 400 total downloads as of April 2026. It is also included in the Mod Manager.

\nA supported mod manager for Fallout 4 VR - it helps automate most parts of the installation of mods!
\nThe mod launcher is quite basic, and was a way of teaching myself how modding works in games, specifically Creation Engine games. Unfortunately, it doesn't support what is known as 'loose-file' mods, which became increasingly prevalent as a way to prevent mods from overwriting each other, as they only edit what is required.
\nBased upon that, most users have moved to Vortex. This mod manager remains available as a lightweight alternative for anyone who wants a very simple mod manager.
\nAs of April 2026, with more than 50 updates and 5+ years of development, the mod manager has been downloaded over 10,900 times.
\nLooking for the non-beta version? Visit the NexusMods link along the side and download V1.5.8.3 stable.
\nThe above download in the links section also includes my Fallout 4 SpaceSaver utility, which is auto-extracted when you first run the mod manager.
