Colin McInerney is a game designer and developer who has collaborated with The Brothers Chaps on multiple occasions.
In September 2018, Strong Bad Tweeted at Owlchemy Labs (McInerney's studio at the time) proposing a "VR train-dropping simulator". McInerney (@ColinMcInerror) responded, asking Strong Bad to contact him for any more questions, and suggesting a VR StrongBadZone. Strong Bad responded with StrongBadZone 3D models.
McInerney designed and programmed the VR game Eye, Eye, Cap'n! in 24 hours for the VR Austin Jam in November 2018; Matt Chapman provided the voice for Cap'n Capman, whose name alludes to "Chapman". @StrongBadActual promoted the game, noting the voice's similarity to Old-Timey Strong Bad. In Owlchemy Labs' 2019 game Vacation Simulator, Matt is again listed among the voice cast. In January 2020, and again in September 2020, @StrongBadActual promoted No Hams On Deck, a mobile game by McInerney's new studio The Bread & Butter Game Co. In this game, Matt's voice clips from Eye, Eye, Cap'n are re-used, and Mike Chapman voices Hog Bad, a pig who looks like Strong Bad.
In October 2020, Colin appeared as a guest on the Homestar Runner fan podcast "Come On, Fhqwhpods!", on the episodes for Where's The Cheat? and band names.
In December 2020, Colin McInerney was credited as a playtester for the tenth level of Stinkoman 20X6. Strong Bad thanked him in a Tweet, proclaiming "No one else would have so bravely waded into testing a 15 year old web game for a dead media player!!"
He was credited as a Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate programmer in August 2023. On his website, he elaborates: "I provided general Unity/programming assistance, and was responsible for creating a custom dialogue box manager that sat on top of Adventure Creator. This allowed me to re-add features like special graphics for thinking textboxes, positioning the little speech tags, and a bunch of other fun tweakable things to make sure the text boxes were buttery-smooth."
