Game Development Notes

Things I learned while building games — from debugging code to redesigning a game after playtesting.

Halfway through Sharpshooter, I realized I was building the wrong game.

I had two weeks to finish Whisker. Half the planned features got cut.

My first character design looked good by itself—but didn't match my game.

The bakery level went through three complete redesigns before it felt right.

Each level needed to feel distinct while still being part of the same game.

I changed my third-person shooter enemies from robots to birds.

My order system broke, I broke player movement, and five days later I finally found the cause.

A collision bug that took investigation and code changes to fix.

I redesigned Whisker 2's interface four times across different games.

How I found visual inspiration and adapted it for my game.

The first time I watched real players try Whisker.

Learning to draw character side profiles for Whisker 2.

The start of my game development journey with Unity.

My first group project and original game concept.

Why I decided to remake the Island Runner map.
