About

I am an exploration-driven designer with a player-focused mindset, passionate about delivering the best quality results. I am familiar with various prototyping cycles and constantly learning new skills, taking project success as my personal responsibility. I believe my knowledge and experience will greatly contribute to your next game project.

I work across prototyping, balancing, and collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams, leveraging hands-on experience with Unity and Unreal basics, and coordinating with planning tools like Google Sheets and planning platforms. I am excited to bring my drive and adaptability to your studio and help craft engaging gameplay experiences.

soloway is a 2.5D deconstructed rhythm game / endless runner that talks about joys and struggles of Ukrainian funk musicians in a playful manner.

The idea behind the gameplay was to raise general understanding of the zeitgeist of Soviet 1960s-1970s and engage audience into further discussion of the topic.

I have participated as the project’s solo designer and developer. My responsibilities included game design pipeline, creation of the game feel, and optimisation of the game to ensure it survives exhibition.
