I help clients turn game ideas, prototypes, and existing Unity projects into playable, reliable systems that can be tested, improved, shipped, and maintained. My main focus is Unity development: gameplay programming, UI-driven game loops, mobile/WebGL builds, scoring systems, progression, player interactions, content workflows, and production features. I work especially well on projects that need more than just code implementation: I can help structure the gameplay flow, identify missing requirements, improve usability, and make sure the system is practical to maintain after delivery. What I can help with: • Gameplay systems, interactions, and core game loops • Playable prototypes, MVPs, and vertical slices • Improving or completing existing Unity projects • UI, menus, scoring, timers, progression, feedback, and game flow • Mobile, WebGL, desktop, and browser builds • Data-driven content using JSON/CSV • Custom tools to make content easier to update • Bug fixing, polish, project cleanup, and stability improvements • External service/API integration when needed I also have experience with Unreal Engine 5, Godot 4, Construct 3, Blender, Git, and general production workflows, so I can communicate well across technical, design, and asset-related parts of a project. My Upwork history includes shipped mobile games, Unity ports, long-term production work, WebGL builds, prototypes, gameplay systems, and production support across desktop, mobile, and browser platforms. I work best with clients who want a practical developer who can think through both the technical implementation and the game design direction.

I help indie developers and small studios turn game ideas into playable prototypes quickly. Making games since 2016, I've shipped titles on Steam and Google Play Store, and won a gold award at the HAL Tokyo Game Jam. I'm currently studying game programming at HAL Tokyo, one of Japan's top game development schools. What I'm good at: - Building prototypes and game mechanics quickly in Unity - Taking a concept from idea to playable in days, not weeks If you have a game idea that needs to become real, feel free to contact me.
