INTJT2
To anyone who stumbles upon this little corner of the internet, welcome. This collection represents the earnest, sometimes messy, beginnings of a lifelong dream finally being put into practice. For as long as I can remember, I have harboured the powerful dream of becoming a game designer, of building worlds and crafting experiences from the raw materials of imagination and code.
My heart's desires
What you see here is the first, trembling step onto that path. I am, by every definition, an amateur - both in crafting these digital spaces and in composing the music that sometimes fills them. Every project is a learning experience, an experiment in translating the vivid images in my mind into something tangible and interactive. There are likely rough edges, imperfect mechanics, and sounds that don't quite mesh as I hoped, but each one is a milestone, a testament to the journey of learning and creating. In the spirit of full transparency and the ongoing conversation within creative communities, I want to openly address my approach to tools, specifically artificial intelligence.
My philosophy on tools
Not blanket acceptance. Not blanket rejection. Selective application of AI based on each project's core needs.
Some games use AI assistance
Typically, for ambient sound textures, conceptual brainstorming, or dialogue drafts, I then heavily edit. These act as collaborative catalysts. They help me overcome technical ceilings when working alone. You will find games here where I have utilised AI-assisted tools (in some games, not all), often in areas where my own amateur skills hit a hard ceiling or where the scope of my vision as a creator demanded a helping hand.
Other games use no AI by conscious choice.
These are projects where the handcrafted, imperfect feel is essential. Every pixel, every chiptune note, every awkward line of dialogue comes directly from my own skill. That unvarnished connection has its own value.
Other Comments
I am not a studio. I am one person managing the entire creation pipeline. My primary goal is to tell stories, evoke moods, and build interactions. Ethically sound tools help bridge the gap between my vision and my current abilities. The hand of the artist, even when unpolished, is not something to hide - it's part of the signature.
These are projects where the intimate, handcrafted feel is paramount to the experience I wish to convey. In these cases, every pixel, every note of a simple chiptune melody, every line of dialogue, however awkward it may be, is a direct output of my own limited skill and unmediated imagination. This choice is about preserving a pure, unvarnished connection between my initial dream and your experience as a player. It’s about the authenticity of the struggle, the beauty in the amateur’s imperfect touch, and the statement that some creations are meant to be wholly personal, flaws and all.
Consider this a living document of a dream in progress. Some games feel more assisted, others more raw. Behind every one is the same aspiring designer, learning in public.
See it as a living document of a dream in progress. Some games might feel more technologically assisted, while others feel more personally engaging. But behind every one is the same aspiring designer, the same amateur musician, learning in public and slowly forging a path toward that childhood dream. Thank you for your interest, your patience, and for being a part of this ongoing experiment. The journey is just beginning, and I am grateful for anyone who chooses to walk alongside it, even for just a moment.
Thanks for being here.
