Bigglesworth Games

Invasion of the Burmese Python is the founding project that birthed Bigglesworth Studios LLC. Conceived in 2013 at Full Sail University, the game has been resurrected into a functioning Unreal Engine 5 simulation running on macOS and PC. You begin as vulnerable prey beneath towering dinosaur-sized Herons, mastering Devil May Cry-style S-Rank predatory execution, tactile haptic exhalation-rhythm constriction, and real-time environmental water drowning. Accompanied by a 59-taxa Field Compendium cataloging the actual Florida wilderness.

• Functioning Unreal Engine 5 build running multi-platform on macOS and PC
• Tactile haptic constriction mechanics timed to prey exhalation pulses
• Real-time aquatic drowning fatalities and 1:1 scale predator/prey ecology
• 59-species Audubon-style Field Compendium covering all 8 Everglades wilderness biomes
• Survives an 870 GB data disaster to prepare for early access

Role: Creator, Game Director, Designer, Unreal Engine 5 Developer|Tools: Unreal Engine 5, macOS & PC Multiplatform, Blender 3D, Python Field Compendium, Haptic Constriction Netcode

→ Active flagship production in Bigglesworth Games. Targeted for PC and Mac Early Access.

Kart Mart is an arcade-speed kart racer developed in the Godot Engine. When childhood friend and Nintendo connoisseur Jayson Morales suggested building Invasion of the Burmese Python in Godot, James was already too deep in Unreal Engine 5 to switch. But intrigued by Godot's lightness, James decided to test the engine on a brand-new arcade kart racer. Built for tight drifting, immediate pick-up-and-play joy, and 120 FPS performance with zero bloat.

• Born from Jayson Morales's suggestion to test Godot as an alternative engine
• Lightweight, snappy drift mechanics developed natively in Godot 4
• High-speed arcade racing feel delivering 120 FPS response with zero bloat

Role: Creator, Programmer, Game Designer|Tools: Godot Engine, GDScript, Arcade Physics, Diorama Asset Pipeline

→ In active development at Bigglesworth Games.

Maximum Firepower is the modern AI reincarnation and spiritual successor to James's solo 2014 single-level remake of Capcom's classic arcade shooter U.N. Squadron in Unity. What began a decade ago as a lone developer building flight bounds, weapon pooling, and boss dogfights was resurrected as a standalone shmup fueled by OpenAI Codex sprite pipelines. Playtested by James's notoriously tough nephew—who halted mid-run with genuine props—and urged by friends Luiz and Alex toward an immediate App Store release.

• Modern AI reincarnation of James's solo 2014 single-level Unity U.N. Squadron remake
• Dynamic 2D sprite sheet generation engineered through OpenAI Codex
• Tough nephew playtest passed with flying colors; Luiz and Alex backed commercial release

Role: Creator, Gameplay Programmer, Sprite Generator|Tools: OpenAI Codex, Unity Engine (2014), 2D Sprite Sheet Pipeline, Arcade Momentum Loops

→ Active production in Bigglesworth Games.

Wake Up! Florida was a fake TV show — written and produced by James, shot on the lot at Full Sail University in 2013 with a crew of film-degree students — built as the commercial for IBP's crowdfunding campaign. Equal parts local-news parody and worldbuilding, it even featured a real 9-foot Burmese python: an instructor introduced James to nature expert Chief Todd Rowley, who brought his pet snake (Tiny) on set. Story making an idea feel real before it existed.

• Built a believable promo world around an unbuilt game
• Wrote and produced it end to end, directing a film-student crew on the Full Sail lot
• Cast a real 9-foot Burmese python — Chief Todd Rowley's Tiny — as the star
• Used satire to make ecology and the crowdfunding pitch memorable

Role: Creator, Writer, Producer|Tools: Video Production, Scriptwriting, Comedic Tone, Student Film Crew

→ Proof that James could direct tone and produce video years before it became a service line.
