SURVEY SHEET · 11:30 · FULL SUN · 19 SPECIMENS LOGGED
AI-powered applications, indie games, and open-source creator tools. Built in Ottawa, shipped around the world, 2018 to now.
SPECIMEN 01 · SHOULDERMEN · STEAM · LIVE
An indie game on Steam featuring AI-driven companions and emergent gameplay. Intelligent NPC behavior and dynamic storytelling, built around what AI characters can do when they actually notice the world.
SPECIMEN 02 · MURDER MYSTERY · WEB · NEW · IN DEV
A voice-acted multiplayer whodunit where every suspect is an AI with something to hide. Interrogate them out loud, catch the lie that doesn't hold, and accuse the killer. Each case is generated backwards from the solution, so the clues always add up. Still under active development, and already playable.
SPECIMEN 03 · CLARION · WEB · NEW · LIVE
A speech-practice app for anyone who wants to communicate with more clarity and confidence. Read a scored teleprompter passage while hearing your own voice live, delayed, or masked in your headphones, and watch the transcript score every word in real time.
SPECIMEN 04 · FLOWX · WEB · NEW · LIVE
A speech habit trainer with a scoreboard. FlowX transcribes your microphone live, scores each window of speech against the habit you're training — in plain English, your words — and runs a retro-LCD clock of time since your last slip. Built for live streamers with an OBS overlay your chat can see; just as useful off stream for anyone who wants to speak with more confidence.
SPECIMEN 05 · CUPOCALYPSE · OSS · NEW · LIVE
A 3D survival runner that plays in your browser, with no base to build and nothing to install. Steer a squad down an infected highway, shoot the arithmetic gates that grow or shrink it, stack fifteen collectible guns that all fire at once, and fight through eight bosses to the 1,200-metre finish. Six mission protocols, permanent upgrades, and shared top-10 distance leaderboards with no login. MIT licensed.
SPECIMEN 06 · GARNET · OSS · NEW
Shared notes that never make you wait. A Web Worker runs library search and local saves off the UI thread, and a service worker with IndexedDB keeps the app and every document working offline until it syncs. Write together with live cursors, drop Word, PDF, EPUB or spreadsheet files right where you want the text, and bring your own Claude or Codex to edit alongside you. One-line install, MIT licensed.
SPECIMEN 07 · THAIKIT · OSS · NEW · LIVE
An MIT-licensed kit of 154 game-ready Three.js props, all generated procedurally in code, for a browser FPS and level builder that runs on low-end PCs. The theme is the Thai street: shophouses, shrines, tuk-tuks, market stalls, signage, fences, and skyline imposters. The public mirror is read-only: browse every prop with a live 3D preview, inspect its colliders, budgets and review scores, then open the level editor and walk the example levels in play mode.
SPECIMEN 08 · THIS OFFICE · OSS · NEW
A visualizer for Claude Code. Your live sessions play out as a 3D office: your prompts land on the boss's monitor, every tool call lights up an employee's screen, subagents get desks of their own, and a wall TV keeps a running tally of your usage. It reads the transcripts Claude Code already writes to your machine, so every project and every terminal shows up with no hooks and no per-project setup — just one docker compose up.
SPECIMEN 09 · SIENNA · OSS · NEW
An open-source AI music player with a personality. A little ESP32 desk companion paired with an agent that DJs continuous YouTube music with minimal repeats, remembers you between conversations, and evolves a personality of her own. Hold the button, ask for a vibe, and let her run the turntable.
SPECIMEN 10 · FCF SURVIVORS · IN DEV
A survivors-style indie game. Tight action loops, escalating waves, and run-based progression that keeps a round from ever feeling the same twice. Built in the open on GitHub.
SPECIMEN 11 · LIVE TRANSLATE LIVE · WEB · LIVE
Real-time translation software for conversations, powering multilingual communication with low-latency AI. Built for business meetings, conferences, and cross-language collaboration.
SPECIMEN 12 · WORD EXCHANGE PLAZA · WEB · LIVE
A Duolingo-style language learning platform for Hindi, Arabic, French, Norwegian, and more. Teachers create their own courses, serve their own ads, and produce studio-quality audio in minutes through an ElevenLabs-powered admin.
SPECIMEN 13 · BRAIN FU · MOBILE · LIVE
A multiplayer pub trivia app that brings bar quiz night to your phone. Real-time trivia battles across hundreds of categories. Fast, fun, and fiercely competitive.
SPECIMEN 14 · DANDELOPIA · iOS · LIVE
A colorful iOS indie game with hand-crafted levels and whimsical art. A charming puzzle experience designed for mobile.
SPECIMEN 15 · SCREENPLAY · OSS
A collaborative screenwriting platform that takes a script from first draft to finished video. Real-time editing, AI writing assist, beat-organized plots, concept art, storyboards, and video generation in one place.
SPECIMEN 16 · NULLCOMMITS · OSS
An AI commit message generator that analyzes your diffs to produce meaningful, conventional commit messages. For developers who care about clean history.
SPECIMEN 17 · LATEST RELAYER · OSS
An open-source live streaming relay server designed for self-hosted relay on a budget. Affordable streaming infrastructure that runs on a low-cost VPS.
SPECIMEN 18 · GAVIOTA PROBE .NET · OSS
A .NET port of the Gaviota chess endgame tablebase probing library. Perfect play in simplified positions for chess engines built on .NET.
SPECIMEN 19 · BINGBONG · OSS · AUDIBLE
Whether you need an AI developer in Ottawa or an indie game collaborator in Canada, LinkedIn is the fastest path.
