I'm Chris, a gameplay developer and technical designer.
I build physics-driven mechanics, playable prototypes, and levels.
Open to remote employment, contracts, and part-time collaboration.

I worked with Fancade for nearly two years, developing game prototypes and level content for published games. My work involved exploring mechanics, building challenges around an established ruleset, and iterating on difficulty and progression.
My contribution: level design and prototyping for later content.
Original game: Martin Magni / Fancade.
I designed and iterated levels around the game's two-button physics. Terrain, vehicle variation, balance, and timing created different challenges without adding controls. The goal was to find new possibilities in the driving model while keeping levels readable and consistent with the game.
Designer & developer · Unreal Engine / Blueprint · Independent project
A 3D construction game where players connect blocks, motors, and controls to solve physics puzzles. I designed the building system, implemented the interactions and mobile controls, and published the game on Google Play.
Focus: physics-driven construction, player-facing building tools, and independent development through publication.

A mobile-first 3D survival prototype for the browser. Leave camp, explore and gather, then decide whether to return with what you have or keep going.
The prototype combines touch and keyboard controls, physics-based movement, harvesting, combat, and a camp-to-expedition loop. In-browser world and visual-asset tools support authoring alongside the game.
My role: game design, development planning, and hands-on playtesting, with AI-assisted implementation. I define mechanics and acceptance criteria, review changes, and iterate on the playable result.
Focus: mobile interaction, connected gameplay systems, and authoring tools. This is an unfinished prototype, not a shipped release.

Original game · Fancade · Published under MechanizedIT
A deliberately awkward physics-platforming game: each arm is controlled independently, turning movement into a coordination puzzle. A small change to the control scheme becomes the central challenge.
Focus: original mechanic design, unconventional controls, and physics-based interaction.

Focus: gameplay prototyping, physics and construction systems, level design, mobile interaction, and game-development tools.
Engines & platforms: Unreal Engine / Blueprint, Unity, Godot, Fancade, and browser-based development with Three.js.
Languages: C, C++, C#, Lua, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
I start with the core interaction, make it playable, and use playtesting to decide what needs to change. In an existing game, I work within its mechanics and constraints rather than adding complexity for its own sake.
For AI-assisted projects, I keep changes small and testable, use source control and explicit acceptance criteria, and check the result in the game. Design decisions and reviewing the work remain my responsibility.
