Hi, I'm

Nathan A Emerick.

I build things: a sci-fi novel, games, animated shorts, IT tools, and experiments with AI. This is where I keep them.

Cover of I. Am. by Nathan A Emerick: a man standing on an empty road at night, facing an observatory on a crumbling mountain.

My novel · In revision

I. Am.

He woke up late. The rest of the world didn't wake up at all.

Miles Finch fixes networks for a living. One morning he wakes to a dead connection, a silent phone and a world where everyone is missing. So he does what he always does: he starts troubleshooting.

Things I'm building in my spare time.

Browser strategy game · Live

Spindlefall

Year 3417. The only hyperlane into the Reach has collapsed, cutting 48 star systems off from the rest of the galaxy. Build a colony, run cargo, raid your rivals, and be holding the most territory when the Spindle reopens.

  • Four factions, each with a strength and a weakness
  • Tick-based rounds that reset when the Spindle reopens
  • Built and run by me, from game design to servers

Animation

Animation Studio

My own pipeline for making short animated films: script, narration, character sheets, keyframes, sound and music, animatic, then the final cut, with a review step at each stage.

  • Lantern Snail
  • Wooden Robot
  • Holiday shorts

AI

AI Content Generators

One app that turns an idea into a finished YouTube video. It writes the script, illustrates every scene, narrates it, adds a soundtrack and renders the final MP4.

  • Children's stories
  • Property tours
  • Story documentaries

IT

Outshined RMM

A remote monitoring and management tool I wrote from scratch in Go. Small agents report in from Linux servers and Windows PCs, and the server watches for problems and sends alerts.

  • Go
  • PostgreSQL
  • Monitoring

WordPress

Affiliate Engine

A WordPress plugin and theme for running affiliate stores. It imports products from Amazon and other retailers, keeps prices fresh, and handles the SEO and structured data.

  • WordPress
  • PHP
  • SEO

AI storytelling game · In development

Unfold Saga

A storybook lies open on your desk. Type what you do, and the page folds shut. A new scene rises out of the paper in layers while the story writes itself on the facing page.

  • Every scene is a cut-paper pop-up that tilts as you move
  • Pull-tabs, flaps and paper wheels instead of buttons
  • Bookmark any page and go back to try the other door
  • Your finished saga becomes a book you can flip through and share
