Indie Studio
Mame Production
A small independent studio I formed with friends to build fan games and original projects through tight-scoped production cycles.
Founder / Developer
Unity
Small Team Production
Building compact games with fast iteration and clear scope
Mame Production gives me a place to own more of the development process: planning scope with a small team, building gameplay systems, coordinating releases, and carrying projects beyond the first jam build.
Touhou: 7 Colored Qualia
A Windows/macOS Unity fan game made for Touhou Fan Game Jam 16, later expanded into a complete post-jam version with story progression, achievements, and 8 minigames across 8 locations.
- Jam-to-release production
- Multi-minigame gameplay structure
- Story progression and achievement-driven unlocks
Too Early for the Stars
A browser-playable puzzle visual novel demo about Madelyn, a near-future Hong Kong conspiracy, and an all-powerful wish-granter. Released on itch.io for Josei Jam 2026 and Otome Jam 2026.
- Unity HTML5, Windows, and macOS demo
- Web-based puzzle and narrative implementation
- Small-team production through public release
Featured Steam Projects
Shipped gameplay engineering work
Larger team projects where my work focused on player-facing systems, implementation quality, and making authored design feel reliable in-game.
Gameplay & UI Engineer
Narrative Designer
Codex Nova Game Studio
Codex: Recall
Worked part time for six months with Codex Nova Game Studio on a Steam release, contributing across gameplay engineering, UI implementation, and narrative design.
My responsibilities centered on implementing the core gameplay sequencing and building a large portion of the player-facing UI that supports the game's moment-to-moment flow.
- Core gameplay sequencing implementation
- Large-scale UI feature development
- Narrative design and implementation support
Gameplay Engineer
Released on Steam
DuoQ
Built and refined core gameplay mechanics for a single-player game framed around co-op FPS interactions, voice-driven communication, puzzle solving, and enemy encounters.
My work centered on turning design intent into responsive playable systems, then profiling and optimizing those systems so the experience stayed smooth under gameplay load.
- Core gameplay mechanic implementation
- Performance profiling and optimization
- Player-facing systems polish and iteration
Gameplay Engineer
Narrative Systems
Richard
Implemented narrative content and gameplay features for a Shakespeare-inspired social simulation game built around conversations, trust, character knowledge, and dialogue choices.
I connected authored story material to interactive dialogue flows, helping narrative beats trigger cleanly through gameplay while keeping player choices readable and consistent.
- Dialogue and narrative implementation
- Interactable conversation feature work
- Design-to-engineering integration for story content

Creature AI Engineer
Behavior Systems
[ VOID ]
Programmed creature behavior AI for a game centered on encounters with distinct entities, focusing on how creatures perceive, react, and interact with the player and environment.
My role required translating encounter design into maintainable behavior logic, giving each creature readable patterns while preserving tension, surprise, and systemic consistency.
- Creature AI behavior implementation
- State-driven interaction and response logic
- Gameplay tuning for readable enemy behavior
Production Project
Umbral Island
Partner with one other person to go through the full production cycle to create one game.
A top-down horror maze crawler where the player explores a night town with limited vision, avoids cultists, solves puzzles, and searches for a way to escape.
- Team
- 2 + 5
- Timeline
- 1 semester
- Status
- Beta stage
- Main Role
- Dialogue and interaction framework, 3D modeling and animation, UI/UX
System and Board Game Design
Design Projects
A set of short tabletop design exercises focused on prompts, mechanics, iteration, and final rule documentation.
3 weeks / Team of 4
Minnesota Jones
Prompt: Design a board game using the classic board game Down the River as prior art.
A jungle adventure game where 4 players race to compete to enter the temple in the center.
3 weeks / Team of 4
Fox Hunt
Prompt: Design a board game with randomly selected mechanics: 1v1 dynamic, auctioning, chase, player as animals.
A card-based grid movement board game where players bid against each other for movement cards before trying to evade or hunt each other.
4 weeks / Team of 4
Pipe Wars
Prompt: Design a board game. No restrictions.
A 4-player physical board game where players play twister with their fingers while trying to fix and maintain leaking water pipes.
