When naming my games, I heavily focus on capturing the main themes from those games. In the case of Unscripted, I wanted to capture the fact that the experience of submitting a game to a prestigious arcade and hoping it will get accepted isn't really scriptable; personal experiences may vary. For The Costumemaster, I wanted to capture the main mechanic in the game: switching between costumes....

Hi, everyone! I love stickers, especially those for iMessage and other messaging platforms. They're a really unique and interesting way to express yourself beyond text and emojis. I made Unstickered, a sticker pack for iMessage, Telegram, and the Mac, as a way to let everyone express themselves with their favorite characters from Unscripted like Meredith, Katorin, and Zen'no. I'm super excited...

Although I'm not able to have as much social interaction with peers due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I put measures in place to make sure that I can always reach them. I have a small Discord server for me and my friends where we chat with each other on a multitude of things. Every week, we meet up at night to have a game night and chat on Discord. Since I'm an indie game dev (and software...

Such an amazing app with a responsive team and constant improvements. The latest update (1.0.18 at time of writing) brought breakout rooms and updated Zoom, and it's a blast using it for attending classes.

Super handy for me to check Apple's system status without having to hunt for page.

I switched from Paste to Copied, and I couldn't be happier. The latest update works pretty well, and I'm fond of the syncing between devices. It works a lot more reliably than Universal Clipboard, and it's easy to use.

Hi there! I remember the pure excitement, gratification and joy I had when I first published an app to the Mac App Store. It's a really interesting experience that when you look at it, you can't stop smiling because you're feeling good about how much you accomplished. I wanted to recreate that feeling and recall that process of getting there in a format that I'm well familiar with: a visual...

Hi there! I love developing games for the Mac with SpriteKit. It's a fun experience trying out new things, especially when trying to get an AI to play it! The Costumemaster is the result of a computer science project I've been working on this semester in an attempt to train an AI to play it. I was inspired by games like Portal and Superliminal and how they integrated mechanics with a decent...
