I’ve enjoyed cozy games since I was young, though I never entertained the possibility of creating them. During my time at Ara, I found my passion for creating video games, and decided to work towards a career in the games industry.  

To create an experience for a player through a moving and interactive environment is where my interests lie. Through my final project I hope to achieve an enjoyable game for a vast audience.

A good balance of online and offline work is a key aspect of keeping the mind healthy. In this modern world, many find it hard to peel their eyes from the screen. For my final project, I wanted to use my illustration skills to create a cozy, farming RPG (role-playing game) that teaches real-life gardening skills to better one's mental wellbeing.

Indie game design requires a vast skillset with many technical aspects. Through 2D games, I have gained abilities in animation and illustration, as well as picked up other skills such as sound design and programming. The harmonisation of simple assets such as these stacked above one another results in a complex interactive piece that we call a video game.
