Smiling Bob Games

independent studio & software

A small studio building two things carefully.

A game, and a programming language. Different products, same habit: nothing ships on a claim that has not been measured.

Sapphire Sky

Sapphire Sky in development

Plain English in. Native machine code out. Nothing in between you have to trust.

AI already writes code faster than anyone can read it. Here it writes none: the model assembles a program out of pieces that are proven before it touches them, and a deterministic compiler turns that straight into x86-64 and wasm.

Cannot be writtenNo operation names a file, a host, a port or a table. SQL injection is unexpressible rather than defended against.
Built to be reviewedGenerated code arrives faster than anyone can read it. The artefact here is meant to be audited, not trusted.
No loss on the way backNative machine code across more than one instruction set, and back to C, Python or C# with nothing recovered or guessed.

Phantom of Orion — a cloaked warship firing torpedoes past a burning wreck above a planet

Phantom of Orion

A WW2 submarine sim in space. Hunt, and be hunted.

  • The cloak that hides you also blinds you. Bend light around the hull and the void goes dark for you too. Balance the field against your sensors: see more, leak more.
  • Power is a blanket that never covers the whole bed. Engines, weapons, shields, sensors, the cloak. Every watt you spend is a watt somebody can see.
  • The moment you fire, the hunt turns around. Ping and they hear you. Shoot and they have your bearing. Rig for silent running and drift.
  • Your crew is your ship. Rank them up, mine for repairs and torpedoes, and rebuild the Terran gate network looking for a fleet that may not be there.

One developer and his kids. The submarine core — cloak, silent running, sonar, power allocation, the convoy hunt, the crew, the gate network — is playable today; depth and polish are still growing.
