About Oak Knoll Games

Hey There,

I’m James the solo (for now) developer behind Oak Knoll Games. I’ve been making games for roughly 15 years, but until now I hadn’t taken the plunge and focused on publishing a completed game, having mostly stuck to game jams and the like. Imperial Detective: Oasis is the first completed game I’m publishing and it will be the first of at least three Imperial Detective Games. My goal is to release the first three Imperial Detective Games on Mobile and then bundle them together for a release on Steam (and, who knows, maybe even consoles as well).

Imperial Detective isn’t my dream game, but the storytelling structure of the game (making decisions that influence your relationships with NPCs) is core to what I find compelling about modern video games. If you try out and enjoy the Imperial Detective series, I hope you’ll keep track of this blog and try out the open world RPG I plan to make when Imperial Detective is completed. Thanks for checking out the blog, and make sure to come back once a month if you’re interested in seeing my updates!
