In Memory

● First Game Project,  1 Month Personal Challenge

● TIGA Games Industry Award – Best Puzzle Platformer

This was my first ever game project, intentionally small in scope, but it ended up receiving more media attention than I anticipated. I gave myself a strict one month deadline to finish and release the game, treating it as a self imposed production challenge to learn what it truly takes to ship something.

As a solo developer, I handled almost every aspect of development:

• Hand-drew all visual assets, then refined them in Photoshop
• Designed gameplay and built levels
• Packaged and released the game

At the time, I was still new to game design, relying mostly on intuition and experimentation to bring the concept to life. But the experience taught me invaluable lessons about:

• Scoping realistically
• Working within constraints
• Making creative decisions quickly
• Delivering a complete, finished product

Looking back, it was a rough but pivotal milestone, the first step in developing the mindset and discipline I’ve carried into every project since.
