Personal Project

Void Beyond

You wake up alone on a damaged research station somewhere in an unknown galaxy. Your crew is gone, your systems are failing, and no one is coming. Manage power, oxygen, and fuel while scanning for signals, deploying your rover to explore planets and derelicts, and slowly uncovering the truth behind your crew's disappearance.

04 — About

I've been making games since a Unity project I was too embarrassed to share.

Game developer from İstanbul specializing in Unity and C#. I work across commercial Web3 projects and traditional games. The obsession with game feel hasn't faded.

I work best at the seam between design and engineering. Turning a fuzzy "it should feel snappy" into a tight timestep, a tuned curve, and a system that a designer can iterate on without me.
