Programmer - Game Designer - 3D Modeller

I believe in three core pillars in my game design. Inclusivity, Educational and Epic.

Inclusivity

Games should be designed to enable as many people as possible to be capable of playing as well as feeling represented within the medium

Educational

Games should teach its audience. Not specifically academics, but of life, experience and knowledge for the sake of knowledge

Epic

Games should aim for a feeling of "Epic". Of Scale, Of Feeling, Of Consequence. Something that connects the player to the world in the most impactful way possible

01 PHILOSOPHY

I design games as gateways to epic, expansive, and believable worlds where every story, culture, and landscape has meaning. Through deep lore and thoughtful worldbuilding, I strive to create experiences that inspire wonder, curiosity, and discovery.

My goal is to immerse players in living worlds that not only entertain, but also encourage them to learn real-world lessons, develop valuable skills, explore history, and gain new perspectives. I believe the most memorable games are those that leave players with both unforgettable adventures and meaningful knowledge they can carry beyond the screen.

02 LEMNIZCATE

Lemnizcate Entertainment is the operating name for my Indie Game Development Studio. With a focus on realism and Storytelling, we aim to bring impactful, meaningful and entertaining games to a mainstream audience.

We aim to develop expertise in depth of environment, making both small arena style and large open worlds feel full, alive and realistic to give players a sense of awe and wonder. Alongside deep, rich and compelling storytelling we want to make players feel as if they have stepped into a true alternate reality.

03 PROJECT UPLIFT

My Role - Lead Programmer, Level Designer

An arcade style flight game simulating the work of the Royal Flying Doctors Service - A non-profit, national charitable health organisation.

Made through a collaboration between Griffith Game Studios and the RFDS and part of Griffith Games-for-Good initiative.

The player is tasked with completing missions for the RFDS to pilot their iconic King Air B200 to remote Queensland towns. Missions can vary between collecting and delivering medical chests to racing against time in emergency call outs.

Completing missions results in receiving letters from the patients you help as well as earning trust in towns that rewards you with badges associated with the town.

04 ECHOES OF ASH

My Role - Associate Producer, Lead Programmer, Level Design, Lighting

A Dark and Desperate depiction of the horrors of war and the human experience of loneliness and death in the wake of a devastating nuclear blast.

The player experiences the immediate aftermath as the Character Eli, a soldier, returned from overseas, injured and on experimental pain medication. He is forced to survive in a wasteland, finding medication, ammo, and flare for lighting. While surviving the harsh effects of Radiation and deadly mutated dogs.
