Where code, creatures, and chaos collide
Zanden Creations is my personal forge, lab, and snack drawer. It’s where I build strange tools, write story-packed webnovels, model weird creatures, and keep evolving the world of Growlution.
Here, I write Cadets of Catastrophe, a sci-fantasy adventure full of talking animals, emotional tech, and cadets way in over their heads. You’re in the right place if you like tense standoffs, found family, and foxes with nanites. I also craft The Fractured Wizard, a quirky, broken-magic tale where nothing works the way it should, least of all the wizard.
On the code side, I make custom programs like Primal Mate, Primal Conqur character manager that monitors the process and allows easy switching, and Coolega Browser, because I want s browser similar to the old Flock Browser that suddenly vanished in 2016. I am also making Zanden NodeKitty, an Atom-inspired program writer that also draws from Notepad++.
Then there’s the modeling—3D characters, creatures, and environments—sometimes for games, sometimes for fun, always with personality. I probably made it if something has too many eyes or suspiciously glowy parts.
And running through everything is Growlution, a game where creatures evolve, adapt, and snark their way through survival. I handle everything from code to concept to claws.
This blog’s my way of showing it all off—one project per post, picture on top, story or tool underneath. Tap, scroll, snack, repeat.
Let the chaos begin.
