About

Hey, I’m Braxton Smallwood — a solo indie game developer building under the name Dicest Dev.

I’m a self-taught developer focused on making games that are easy to pick up but hard to put down. My first published title, ShiftFive, is a twice-daily word game available on the App Store. I’m currently building Just Flip A Coin, a roguelike coin-flipping deck-builder you can play right now in your browser.

I enjoy designing systems where simple rules create deep strategy — whether that’s figuring out which five letters to play or deciding when to push your luck on one more coin flip.

If you want to follow along with development, give feedback on a game, or just say hi, head over to the contact page.
