Games

In 1997, then 17-year-old Wolf and Adam Maloy took over production on DragonSpires, a community-driven multiplayer game initiated by Dragon's Eye Productions. [1] Wolf served as creative administrator of the game, in charge of producing a storyline and pixel art, among other duties, until 2002. Wolf also assisted, albeit in a smaller capacity, independent game maker Derek Yu with games such as Mean Cuisine and I'm O.K - A Murder Simulator, [2] which was an ultra-violent game based on Jack Thompson's "A Modest Proposal".

DragonSpires later served as the inspiration for Wolf's browser-based multiplayer game, Scroll Wars , which was opened to the public in 2006. One year later in 2007, Wolf also opened Hell Rising , a zombie vs. vampire vs. survivor browser-based game inspired by and building upon its predecessor, Urban Dead.

Christopher maintains a YouTube gaming channel under the name Tormental, and has worked on creative material for LordMinion777 [ broken anchor ].
