Jam Game

Wild West Poker

The earlier card-game experiment that eventually pointed toward Cowboy Casino.

Wild West Poker is the rougher, jam-built ancestor to later Capsize card projects. You can stack your hand to cheat, but the AI can catch you if duplicates reveal the trick.

The project still matters because it shows the studio's design thread clearly: readable rules, retro presentation, and systems that create character through friction instead of exposition.

Highlights

  • Built for CGA Jam as a focused poker prototype
  • Cheat mechanic that changes the risk profile of every hand
  • Retro audio pipeline using FamiTracker and classic tooling
