I make games built around strange mechanics, player decisions, and systems that are fun to push against.
CURRENTLY
Expanding Biscuit Bandits into a larger demo.
Showcase

MORE ABOUT ME →
I'm Harrison. I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Oregon focused on systems / game design and gameplay implementation.
I like designing a mechanic, getting it playable, and then pushing on it until the interesting part becomes obvious. Most of that work happens on small teams where design and implementation stay close together.
Narrative design and team leadership are part of that work too, especially when choices need consequences or a jam needs to move from a strange idea to a finished build.
More about me →WHAT I DO
Most of my work lives in the overlap between deciding how a game should work and actually building the thing players touch.
Systems / Game Design
Mechanics, encounters, progression, probability, pacing, balance, and playtesting. I care most about how systems change the decisions a player makes moment to moment.
MECHANICS · BALANCE · PACING · PLAYER CHOICEGameplay Implementation
Prototyping player-facing systems in engine, testing them immediately, and iterating on the design through the code instead of treating implementation as a separate handoff.
PROTOTYPING · GAMEPLAY CODE · DEBUGGING · ITERATIONNarrative Design
Branching dialogue, characters, and consequences when story can make a mechanical choice land harder.
Team Leadership
Setting direction, dividing work, writing task lists, and keeping small teams moving toward something finished.
