About the Project
I’m Ósk, a frontend developer who, while applying for a position at a game studio, got a little bit carried away.
Instead of sending a traditional cover letter, I decided to make my cover letter into a 2D pixel game. Since I’d never created a game before, I teamed up with [Lovable.dev](https://www.twine.net/signin and their AI tools to see how far I could push my creativity (and patience).
The goal was simple:
- 🕹️ Create a working 2D game from scratch as a frontend dev
- 💡 Learn something new
- 🎨 Build something fun
- 🤖 See if AI can actually help with a real creative project and lay the groundwork
Spoiler: It did!
The Game
You play as Ósk, who’s on her way to a company she dreams of joining. Explore the office, meet employees, go through a lighthearted “interview,” and discover who Ósk is, and what she has to offer.
It’s not a serious game but a fun, slightly silly, and personal interactive story meant to show a bit of my personality, creativity, and love for learning new things.
