About BOI'S CLUB GAMES
BOI'S CLUB GAMES is an independent game development studio founded by BryanThaBoi, a seasoned software developer with over two decades of programming experience. With a focus on innovative gameplay mechanics and nostalgic aesthetics, we create games that challenge conventions while delivering memorable experiences.
The Developer Behind the Games
At 35 years old, I've spent the last 21 years honing my programming skills across various platforms and technologies. My professional journey has equipped me with expertise in TypeScript, React, and Next.js - skills that I leverage daily as a full-time software developer in the technology sector.
My passion for game development manifested in a particularly memorable moment during the birth of my second child. While keeping my wife company in the hospital, I began coding what would eventually become Opega - channeling nervous energy into creative expression. The game now runs free in the browser at opega.live, and I shipped a native iOS version with React Native (it’s on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Macs) while keeping the same core peg puzzle that started it all.
I love programming. My favorite vacation ever was one where I spent the entire thing programming (it was peak covid, don't judge me).
The BOI'S CLUB Philosophy
At BOI'S CLUB GAMES, we believe in creating games that challenge conventions while remaining accessible and entertaining. Our development approach combines technical innovation with artistic expression, producing experiences that resonate with players on multiple levels. Whether it's voice-controlled gameplay in Voice Quest or mashing roguelite aspects with an NBA JAM-type game in RNG JAM, each title represents our commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new possibilities in game design with the resources we have available.

Current Projects
Boya Coya
In Development
Boya Coya is a fast, strategic two-player trick-taking card game inspired by the ancient game Ganjifa. Master eight suits, declare Boya Coya for bonus points, and outscore your opponent in Relaxed, Strat, or Custom modes - vs CPU or in ranked online play. A live playtest is available on Steam.
RNG JAM
In Development
My current flagship project is RNG JAM, an innovative roguelite that draws inspiration from the iconic NBA Jam series. This game combines procedural generation with fast-paced arcade gameplay, creating a unique experience where every session offers fresh challenges and unpredictable moments.
Voice Quest
Released
Voice Quest represents a breakthrough in interactive gaming, implementing voice-controlled mechanics that allow players to navigate platforms, collect items, and interact with the environment using voice commands. The game features a distinctive visual style and a humorous narrative delivered by an unconventional narrator - a giant, sarcastic floating skull that provides commentary throughout the adventure.
Opega
Released
Born during the anticipation of my second child's arrival, Opega has a special place in my portfolio. What started as a hospital waiting room project grew into a full peg puzzle you can play at opega.live, plus a native app built with React Native on the App Store - same timeless game, whether you're in a browser or on iOS.
Technical Expertise
My technical foundation spans multiple domains within software development. In addition to game creation, I've explored modding existing titles like Diablo 1 using DevilutionX and Infernity frameworks, and I've implemented custom modifications for Balatro to enhance gameplay elements. I have also dabbled in developing advanced Twitch chat integrations using NodeCG - creating interactive streaming experiences that bridge the gap between content creators and their audiences.
My professional work involves creating websites using NextJS and Node and optimizing Jest testing frameworks.
Personal Life
Beyond the screen, I'm a devoted family man. I'm married and have two wonderful children - my older son who has an enthusiastic passion for monster trucks, and my younger son who is still in the early stages of development. This balance between professional creativity and family life provides both inspiration and purpose, influencing the themes and values reflected in my work.
My creative pursuits extend beyond game development into music production and video creation. As the composer for all musical elements in my games, I ensure that each soundtrack enhances the gameplay experience while establishing a distinctive audio identity. Additionally, I channel my passion for video editing into creating content for YouTube, where I share insights into game development, nostalgic gaming experiences, and behind-the-scenes looks at my creative process.
