About

Forger Digital Solutions is an independent AI and software company building developer tools, technician software, game development, publishing tools, civic information, and local discovery.

The products are different on purpose. CodeForge engineers repositories, with Forge AAA as part of its architecture. Forge Control is a separate active development project. Dead Trails West is a private game project; Kayla carries creative works toward publication. Civic, local-food, and technician tools solve their own practical problems.

Building FDS independently so ambitious software, AI research, creative tools, and useful community applications can grow from direct engineering work rather than a corporate product formula.

Small by design. Engineering-first.

  • Follow useful problems across disciplines
  • Keep product claims tied to what is real now
  • Preserve human control as software gains autonomy
  • Share public software, releases, and field notes where possible

FDS is a small, independent company — one engineer, deliberate scope, no inflated headcount. The detailed experimentation and validation method lives in Engineering (FDS Lab). The Engineering Log records what has changed or been learned recently.
