GAME DESIGN & WRITING

ABOUT ME Ever since I was a child, I'd come up with stories and games to move myself through life's difficulties or to entertain my brother. To ponder, understand and cultivate my own self.

Now I wish to share my ideas, feelings and experiences, just like others have to me through their own games.

Humanity has a need to explore and learn new ideas, to find resolutions in any question. This mystery is key to my writing and design. My strongest tool towards providing enjoyment and to provoke thought.

GAME DESIGN & WRITING

CYBERSECURITY VS NINJA Genre: Digital Escape Room Time: 02/2025 Skills: Puzzle Design, Game Writing, Unity, Twine, C#

Link: Click to play!

Concept: A browser game filled with puzzles. I used the opportunity to turn my thesis for my bachelor's into a playful way of informing players how to protect one's data, while also entertaining them. Utilizing the riddles and in-game dialogue, I attempted to create an immersive atmosphere where the players were curious of what would happen next.

D&D CAMPAIGN

Genre: Table Top Role Playing Game

Time: 10/2019 - Present

GAME DESIGN & WRITING

Skills: Collaboration, Discussion, Small group management, Public event hosting, Game design, Game writing

Concept: A crude place of playtesting where your friends will immediately react to the experience, whether out of pleasure or disappointment. All these years we explored a lot of tales, scenarios and gameplay. Through live criticism and me initiating discussion, I learnt to analyze feedback so I can become the designer and writer I aspire to be.

MY TOUCH o Worldbuilding: The whole world is original,

as well as the way the world, magic and politics work, which are incorporated to the story as important elements.

GAME DESIGN & WRITING

o Plot: I've handcrafted every part of it,

finalized the players' backstories and incorporated them in the ongoing tale my world has to tell.

My game is designed to focus both in and out of combat. Both forms have their own team composition, strategies and gameplay, to which I've done careful adjustments and rules:

o Combat: I create every monster and

encounter, making sure they're challenging, interactive and immersive.

o Exploration: From discovering secrets,

interacting with characters and solving puzzles to the players carrying out their own plans.

Concept: An escape room I created with a group for the assignment of our Escape Room & Immersive Theatre module. Due to its success, our professor had us showcase it again on the event "Voidspace". I was in charge of cowriting the narrative, leading the group and its discussions as well as managing each member's tasks and mediating between group members. I also hosted the escape room by maintaining the room, giving live hints, taking care of the onboarding and scheduling player groups.
