I'm a 2D indie game developer, pixel artist, and animator with a passion for creating charming and memorable experiences from the ground up. Here's What I Can Do: 🎮 *Game Development* - Godot, GameMaker, custom systems, game mechanics, UI. 🎨 *Pixel Art & Animation* - Character sprites, tile-sets, VFX, concept art/illustration. 🎵 *Music & Sound Design* - Retro sounds, adaptive soundtracks, trailer music, battle themes, etc. I've built entire games solo, handling everything from crafting the sounds you hear, drawing all of the art you see, all the way down to the programming and logic of the game itself. My workflow emphasizes modularity, intuitiveness and creative autonomy so that the things I create are simultaneously clean and easy to work with, but still chock-full of personality and character. If you're looking for someone to work on your project with precision and creativity, let’s talk. I’d love to collaborate and bring your vision to life! Check out my portfolio below. I look forward to hearing from you :] -Kyle

I use a cutting edge modern Unity workflow combining years of experience, the Unity MCP plugin and flagship models from Anthropic, Cursor and OpenAI. You're paying for a seasoned veteran using the most effective tools who can look at any line in your code and explain to you in plain english what it does and why it does it. What I can help with: Unity Apps / C# game development Gameplay systems, UI, tools, prototypes, production features, debugging, polish, optimization, and platform-specific fixes for PC, Android/iOS, WebGL and VR. AI-enabled games and interactive systems NPC dialogue, local model integration, procedural quests, AI-assisted content generation, narrative engines, runtime data pipelines, and practical AI features that fit inside an actual Unity project. Backend and service integration Databases, APIs, player/user data, analytics, multiplayer services, auth flows, admin tools, live content, and external hardware or device inputs. Technical rescue work I’m comfortable entering messy projects, finding the real problem, stabilizing the build, cleaning up broken systems, and giving the client a clear path forward. Recent work in 2025-2026 has included Mobile and PC strategy, action and MMORPGS, custom Unity tools, AI-powered narrative/gameplay systems, WebGL and VR projects, Android/iOS app updates, ad/IAP integrations, hardware-input arcade experiences, realtime Windows companion apps, and large-scale experimental game prototypes.
