Professional-Grade Development for Immersive Experiences

Hi! I'm a solo game developer with a background in software engineering. I've been coding for over 15 years and love bringing unique game ideas to life.

About Me

I handle the full development process from concept to completion, working primarily with C#/.NET and MonoGame. I create most of my own assets using Paint.NET and handle audio work in Audacity. When I need a little help with visuals, I sometimes use AI tools as a starting point before refining everything by hand.

🎣 Featured Project: TBFT - Teddy Bear Fishing Tournament

Teddy Bear Fishing Tournament is a turn-based fishing game that combines arcade elements with strategy. Compete in a resource-driven tournament where each turn counts — play with friends locally or against CPU bears with attitude.

This isn't your typical relaxing fishing sim — think of it as fishing meets M.U.L.E., with quick rounds, quirky upgrades, and competitive gameplay.

What makes it special:

• Strategic turn-based fishing where location and gear choices matter
• Resource management (boat range, fuel, equipment upgrades)
• Retro-inspired pixel art with a unique chalk-style aesthetic
• Local multiplayer and CPU opponents for tournament play
• Fast-paced gameplay with surprising depth

🛠️ Technical Highlights:

• 🎯 Turn-Based Gameplay – Strategic decisions on when and where to fish, and how to upgrade your gear.

• 🕹️ Arcade + Management Elements – Quick turns with depth: manage resources, boat range, fuel, and gear.

• 🎨 Retro-Inspired Pixel Graphics – With a custom chalk-style aesthetic that gives it charm and character.

• 🧸 Tourney Style Play – Face off against human players in local pass-and-play or challenge CPU-controlled bears.

• 🐟 Not Another Boring Fishing Game – Lighthearted and competitive, with a nostalgic edge.

Development Approach

I focus on creating games that are fun to play and built on solid foundations. My development process is straightforward - I work iteratively and maintain comprehensive backups at key milestones. For professional team projects, I have extensive experience with TFS and source control systems that ensure code integrity and team collaboration. Everything I publish uses either self-created assets or properly licensed resources.
