What Is Creative Tech Guy and How Do You Find Its Free Games and Tools?

Updated

Creative Tech Guy (CTG) is the personal website of developer Jason O'Neill, where he publishes a collection of video games, utilities, and other programs he has created. The site is the official place to browse his catalog, and according to the site itself, nothing on it costs anything—the games and tools are free, with an optional PayPal donation link for visitors who want to support the work. If you are looking for a specific creator's indie catalog rather than a general game platform, this is the site to visit directly.

What You'll Find on the Site

The homepage describes the catalog as spanning many genres, with the stated goal that "there is a gamer in everyone"—O'Neill writes that he experiments with lots of ideas and is always working on a new game. The content is organized into these sections, reachable from the navigation bar:

Section What it contains
Home Landing page with the newest and spotlighted games featured below
Web Games Games playable in the browser
Downloadable Games Games you download to your device
Utilities Non-game tools and programs
Misc Other programs and content
Contact A way to reach the creator

The Game Spotlights area on the homepage is the fastest way to see what's new or currently featured. For everything else, use the navigation links.

How to Browse and Play

  1. Start at the homepage. Read the Game Spotlights section to see the newest and featured titles—this is where the creator surfaces current work.
  2. Choose your format. If you want to play without installing anything, go to Web Games. If you prefer downloaded titles, use Downloadable Games.
  3. Check Utilities and Misc if you're interested in tools and programs rather than games.
  4. Use Contact if you want to reach out to the creator.

The site does not describe login requirements, account creation, or payment for access—the creator states plainly that he doesn't charge for the games and tools, and donations are handled through a PayPal link. Treat that as the site's own statement rather than an assumption about every future release.

How This Differs From General Indie Game Platforms

CTG is a single-creator catalog, not a marketplace or storefront. That distinction matters when you're deciding where to spend time:

  • On CTG, you see one developer's experiments across genres, with new work appearing as he makes it. There is no store page, no pricing tiers, and no third-party catalog to filter through.
  • On general indie platforms, you browse many creators, often with reviews, tags, and purchase options. Those platforms are better for discovery across the whole indie space; CTG is better when you already know you want Jason O'Neill's work.

If your goal is simply to find and play free indie games from this specific creator, go straight to creativetechguy.com and start with the Game Spotlights. If your goal is broad discovery of indie games in general, a general platform will serve you better—and CTG can be one stop among many.
