Independent studio · est. 2026
Averbutcher is an independent studio: two apps, a fantasy show and an online game set in its world. Each piece stays on the anvil until it holds.
The work
Four sets in progress, one bar racked for the next. Same rules for all of them: show up, load it, finish the rep.
A poker tracker that logs every session and puts your stats first. Plus the home-game settle-up: buy-ins, chip counts and who pays whom in the fewest payments. Blind clock and a results image to share.
Grade your day from 1 to 10 across six stats. Keep the streak, read the insights and reports, and pick one of seven mascots to keep you honest.
A scripted fantasy series made with AI tools. One small village on neutral ground, three factions around it, and five friends who don't all stay.
An online action RPG in the same world. Right-click to move, Q W E R to fight, a party of three. Three factions, nine classes.

House rules
Nothing here waits for motivation. The work goes on a schedule, the bar gets a little heavier than last time, and the set gets finished.
Show up on the bad days too. Small reps, every week, no streak too short to protect.
Pick projects with real weight. If it is easy to lift, it is the warm-up.
Real users, real data, real stores. No props, no demo-day mock-ups.
The smith
Old Norse: blade · fire
Brandr keeps the forge cold and the coffee hot.
He tests every build like a new blade: one heavy swing, then a long look at the edge.
