// ABOUT_ME
Hi. I'm Corvin. I'm a game designer whose ideal Friday night would be spent buried in a design document with a coke zero in my hand.
I prototype and ship my own designs: Branching dialogue systems, bestselling plugins, and whatever else keeps me awake. If the problem is worth solving, I'm already figuring it out. My technical ability to build what I design means nothing gets lost in translation.
Design tools: GDD authoring, systems mapping, blockout & greybox, Unreal Engine 5, GameMaker Studio 2, C++, PaperZD

Production-grade real-time digital human built in UE5 for Usher's 2025 US tour.
17 iterations of facial mesh sculpting, Groom hair, cloth physics, and real-time performance optimization. Understanding the character tech pipeline at this level directly informs what's designable and what's actually shippable.
Contracted roguelike based on snake x civilization.
Designed eight wagon classes with distinct mechanical identities, a procedural hex world built for emergent exploration, and a 2.5D visual style Every technical decision (multi-threaded Level Instances, PaperZD, custom post-process shaders) was made in service of a design goal.
