I make games and
the things around them.

Both for work and for fun. Right now that's a 2D action-RPG vertical slice, the Unity framework underneath it, and a couple of small tools I built because I needed them.

What I'm building

Both for work and for fun.
ClassicRPG · working title
active

A 2D action-RPG vertical slice: one complete ~15-minute loop, start to credits, built to prove out the framework underneath it. Hand-authored 8-room dungeon, layered door/lock/puzzle mechanics, saves that survive a full quit.

The game-agnostic Unity framework underneath ClassicRPG. Persistence, async scene transitions, warping, an ability framework, UI stacks, input contexts, and cutscenes. Composition-based, built to lift into the next project.

UsagePace
built

A local pacing proxy for Claude Code's weekly usage cap: projects whether you'll blow the cap before it resets. Reads the usage logs already on disk, cost-weights them per model, projects the trend.

SfxKit
built

A standalone, engine-agnostic placeholder-SFX generator. Spec in, deterministic .wav out. Shipped as a dep-free .NET CLI.

A queryable architecture map for my C# codebase
Claude Code greps. On a composition-first framework that's fine until the agent re-implements something that already exists. Blueprint is a Roslyn-backed architecture index: ask for the slice you need, get compact Markdown back.

When everyone wants to write to the same Animator
Three systems all pushing to the same Animator parameters, none aware of the others. "Set once" always loses to "push every frame." The fix is a priority-banded signal arbiter. Not a hack.

A tool to answer the question my usage meter wouldn't
Claude Code tells you what percent of your weekly cap you've used. It won't tell you whether you're on pace to blow it before it resets. So I wrote UsagePace (stdlib Python, projects the trend).
