Game Projects

Every memorable learning experience starts with a spark. Whether transforming education, building skills, or exploring new concepts, how I craft my games tries to revolutionise learning. By merging play with purpose, my game-based projects invite players to engage deeply, think critically, and have fun along the way. Please see more of my work in this arena below:

Game Design Philosophy

✺

Embracing Passion and Flexibility
"Passionate development resonates with gamers. Embrace and maintain your unique vision, but stay open to its unpredictable evolution."
✽

Restrictions Breed Creativity
"Restrictions breed creativity—innovation thrives under constraints, providing a fresh perspective on challenges."
✱

Experience > Fidelity
"Enriching player experiences is the ultimate design goal—complex to achieve and measure, yet it leads to simplicity and elegance in design."
✤

By Gamers. For Gamers.
"Gamers as designers harness unique insights, crafting games with a deep understanding of nuanced elements that elude non-gamers."
✦

The Crowd Goes Mild
"Create games that ignite passion. It's better to be intensely loved and hated, than just mildly liked by everyone."
✣

Iterative Design = Intuitive Design
“We develop worlds iteratively, aligning them closely with the unfolding story, ensuring each element enhances the narrative's depth."
