Ender Knight is a solo game developer and father who spent 30 years in customer service and blue-collar jobs before teaching himself to make games. He works under the name M.O.T.I.S. and does everything himself: design, code, art direction, trailers and the store pages. His first commercial release, Catnip Wars, a 1–4 player co-op tower defense, shipped on Steam in August 2026. His second, Cradle of Ash, a story-driven co-op survival horror with a competitive “Bloodthirsty Demon Baby Mode”, is coming in October 2026. A third, Catnip Wars: Empires, a persistent multiplayer space-trading game, is in development. He builds them from home so he can be around for his kids. In October 2026 he published his own story and now raises awareness of domestic abuse against men alongside the games.
