Unitysoftware
Leitnnocht is a point-and-click adventure with fully handcrafted and photographed sceneries, where players investigate a missing person's case in a rural Bavarian village. The protagonist Karl Schreiber, a Viennese paralegal, needs to talk to the locals and discovers mythical creatures from Austrian and German folklore during his stay in the Alps. The animations have a stop-motion-look to them and all the 3D characters were sculpted like puppets made from wood, in order to blend them seamlessly into the handcrafted environments. During the creation of the prototype my focus was on the UI and the sound design, as well as the general project management of the game, which involved planning meetings and coordinating events. The sound design consisted of adding SFX to the UI and animations, as well as cutting and assembling all the voice lines and adding ambience tracks to every environment.

Seams & Stitches (in development)
ENlanguage 2025year 4team size Unitysoftware Seams & Stitches is a 3D cozy game, that mainly focuses on the sustainable production of clothing items. The gathering and production mechanics involve small minigames, that are diegetically included in the game. Players can meet anthropomorphic villagers and date them, in addition to using a detailed character creator. The game is still in production and is developed as a 3 semester long masters project at the FH Hagenberg. During the pre-production semester, my role as a producer involved time and project management, as well as keeping track of all the development tasks and scheduling meetings with the team. Besides this, I worked on creating the game mechanics, the level design and sketched out several landmarks.
Der Herr Lumpus (game jam)
DElanguage 2024year 2team size Unitysoftware Inspired by classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games, Der Herr Lumpus follows a child who believes he is an adult. Imitating his perception of adult behavior, the story explores a day in his life as someone who thinks he is a tax consultant. The game is a short, pixel-art point-and-click adventure that involves solving small riddles and talking to various characters. The whole game was made during a 36h game jam at the FH Hagenberg and was made by a team of just two people. Due to the small team size, my tasks involved nearly everything except programming and asset implementation. One big part consisted of drawing the environments and characters, and rudimentally animating them afterward. The other part was the sound, consisting of self-recorded voice lines and a looping background track.
Come Sit Down (VR)
ENlanguage 2023year 2team size Unitysoftware Come Sit Down is a cozy VR game and walking simulator, where maritime animals try to cheer the players up by making them compliments. By exploring the underwater-esque world, different kinds of creatures can be found and interacted with in a relaxing atmosphere. During the development of this VR project, my tasks involved the programming in Unity and implementing the assets, as well as the overall level design of the world. All the assets were taken from online libraries and were not created ourselves.
REVILL
DElanguage 2022year 5team size Unitysoftware The main theme of REVILL is the feeling of uncanny valley - the subtle feeling that something is off, paired with the inability to discern what it is exactly. Another prevalent motive is the idea of purgatory and damnation as the player is, like the main character, forced to repeat a horrible mistake from the past over and over again. Music, Game Art, Lighting, and Level Design should all be in service of evoking an uncanny feeling. While creating REVILL, I focused on designing the levels for the game, which take place in a bunker and a diner. The players explore alterations of the same diner layout during their playthrough - one infinitely looping and another one a narrow hallway. All the assets were taken from online libraries and were not created ourselves.
Bad Apple
DElanguage 2022year 2team size Unitysoftware Bad Apple is a jump and run platforming game, where players control an apple character revenging their fruit friends, that were taken by evil doctors to feed to children. In the game, the player needs to use the apple's whip to kill the doctors, while they shoot damaging projectiles at the protagonist. During the creation of Bad Apple, my tasks consisted of designing and animating the characters and consumables, as well as the ingame UI. In addition to the design, I was also responsible for programming the game and implementing the assets into Unity.
