THE PERSON BEHIND THE GAMES
A builder at heart.
A gamer by passion.
Adenrel Games is my independent game company—a place to turn a passion for making games into experiences people can actually play.
I’m Carson Holmes. I’ve spent more than four decades working with software, turning ideas into systems and exploring what new technology makes possible. My background includes software architecture, consulting, and a computer science and engineering education at UCLA.
I started building the world of Adenrel in the 1990s, drawing maps and developing its mythos, cultures, and history. Those years of world-building now feed the flagship fantasy role-playing game.
Games bring that work into a space I love: imagination, strategy, and the pleasure of figuring something out. Whether I’m building a fantasy world, a familiar card game, or a fantasy football experience, I want to make something worth coming back to.
As a solo proprietor, I’m personally involved in shaping and building these products. Generative AI opens up another creative possibility: games with opponents and partners that can become part of the experience.
