The Legend of the Greasepole is a multimedia tribute to the inexplicable Engineering traditions at Queen’s University in Canada. Over 50 students contributed to the project.
What’s Cool About This
There’s a significant AI component to Greasepole – the autonomous frosh characters have models for learning and communicating with one another.
I was Producer and Lead Developer of Legend of the Greasepole, and Craig Calvert was the project’s Artistic Director and Lead Artist.
Greasepole Resurrection, January 2026
Me and my friend Claude Opus resurrected The Pole Game and the LegendWeb in January of 2026. I wrote up the resurrection as a side quest (and side quest to the side quest).
Check it all out here, and play the game yourself online, here on the LegendWeb.
