- PROJECT: A Quirky Adventure Game Driven By Voice Recognition. Developed in Unity
- ROLE: Solo Developer
- TASKS: Art & Assets, Programming, Custom Editor Tools, lots more šµāš«
Here are some in-progress photos of a project I'm plucking away at.
In this project, I have applied my knowledge in areas ranging from asset creation and art to programming and custom editor tooling.
Custom Editor Tools
A big priority for me has been to develop a scalable and systemic approach to this project, which has led me to create several Unity Editor Tools, which are designed to streamline elements such as character animation and level logic.
Keyframe Editor
Below is my custom keyframe editor tool, which can be used to sync character animations, facial expressions and events, to exact points on dialogue lines.
Speech Input Conditions
Below is my editor script, which defines a set of conditions that speech input must meet for functions and events to be triggered.

Cathedral of Sorrow is an upcoming first-person psychological horror game where
players step into the shoes of Thomas Ward (Magnus Bruun), as
his search for his lost girlfriend plunges him deeper into a nightmarish world controlled by a
deranged AI.

Cathedral of Sorrow emphasizes atmosphere, character interactions, and the use of uncertainty to
evoke horror.
By leveraging randomness, machine learning, and procedural generation,
it creates a unique and adaptive horror experience for every player.
Working on Cathedral of Sorrow, my contributions include:
- Design conceptualisation and Pitching
- Drafting Design Documentation
- Implementing Features in Blueprints
- Design and balancing of the in-game Monster
- Set-piece design and Level Creation

- PROJECT: A quirky 3D adventure set in a land of toys.
- ROLE: Game Director
- TASKS: Directing a team of 16+ developers towards delivering a unified vision, facilitating creativity within a game development environment, pitching externally and internally, maintaining overview and task management.
Toy Game is a quirky, humorous adventure set inside of a toybox, full of mismatched toys. In this game developed over six weeks, you play as the newest toy, navigating a world where your actions shape its fate.
The game features a questing system, where players must use their unique tools to help the various inhabitants of the toy world. Be careful, however, as your choices will affect how others see you!
For this project, I took the role of director and thus developed an initial vision, which would go on to be shaped and elevated with the help of the whole team.
This role provided valuable insights into pitching, directing, and fostering creativity, along with project management and conflict resolution. This project has been one of my most rewarding and challenging experiences,
Don't forget to check out the game's credits on Itch.io, the whole team is wonderful and full of talent!

- PROJECT: 3D Models and environments built for various projects
- ROLE: 3D Generalist.
- TOOLS: Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Marmoset Toolbag.
I am experienced with the entire 3D modeling pipeline, including modeling, unwrapping, texturing, and integration in-engine. My focus is on creating optimized, game-ready models, especially for props and environments.
This skill set has been very valuable, providing the flexibility to tailor assets to meet the exact needs of the player experience as the project evolves.

Over the years I've enjoyed the privilege of creating art for various clients for a variety of uses, some commercial, some personal. This work has strengthened my ability to communicate visually, not just in relation to a clients' wishes, but also in service of vision, mood, and theme.
Below are some samples of my work over the years.

- PROJECT: Various short, experimental and fun projects.
- ROLE: Artist, Programmer, Designer, Sound Designer etc.
- TASKS: Bringing short experiences from concept to finished product, experimenting and learning new tools, fun!
In my free time I've enjoyed developing several smaller experiences, often with a touch of silliness. From interactive murder mysteries to awkward small-talk rhythm games, there may be something here for any oddball.
