Secret Agent Wizard Boy was a normal Wizard Boy on his way to his first year at Wizard School until he received a message from MI6.

"Wizard Boy," it said. "We've received intel that the headmaster of Wizard School, Grumblemort, is the leader of a criminal organization named S.P.I.D.E.R. We need you to investigate!"

And so Wizard Boy started his first year at Wizard School, trying to uncover the mysteries that lay before him.



Secret Agent Wizard Boy is a sandbox wizard sim that can be played alone or in cooperative(?) multiplayer. Explore (blow up) the castle, find secrets, solve puzzles, and discover the mystery hidden deep in the castle.

FEATURES:
  • A multitude of spells to learn and inflict on others
  • Physics-based mayhem
  • Open-ended goals to accomplish (or ignore) however you see fit
  • Online multiplayer
  • Retro-themed third person action, straight from the days of Unreal Engine 1
  • Landmines

Winston arrived at a solution to the moral decay of his town.

He called out to hell, and hell answered. The human body could, hell promised, be twisted and stretched into a kinder, more equine shape. Winston's town, now filled with ignorant hate-mongers, could instead be filled with magical ponies, if he could provide a factory in which to make them. Winston thought they would be beautiful, gentle, and good.

Hell had other plans...



The Pony Factory is a short action/horror game inspired by Doom 3, with a darkly comedic story, striking black and white visual style, and visceral FPS gameplay. This is an updated standalone release of the original game, which was created in 7 days as part of the Dread X Collection 1.

[h2]FEATURES[/h2]
  • Meaty FPS combat against highly agile foes who will attempt to evade and flank you.
  • Darkness is your enemy! Use muzzle flashes, sparks, sound, and other clues to track foes during combat.
  • High contrast black and white aesthetic inspired by early 1950's science fiction films.
  • A short minimalist campaign that can be completed in about 30 minutes.
  • Numerous improvements from the original release, including many new quality of life features, balance and game feel improvements, new story and gameplay content, full gamepad support, and of course bugfixes!




My brother John Szymanski (director of My Friendly Neighborhood) assisted with this version and will be receiving half of the royalties in an effort to provide him with enough income to continue game development until he begins receiving money from MFN.

John also released his own game today: a tense puzzle/horror game called Exiled:

Both games can be purchased as a bundle together too!


Soundtrack updated to Steam's new soundtrack content type thing

I finally got around to updating the soundtrack DLC from just a DLC to an official soundtrack, so you should be able to play it in Steam's music player thing. I also went through and fixed some levels/clipping issues with the tracks. Enjoy!
