The studio
Across the ForestlyGames portfolio, the work was not one single game or one single job. I founded and operated a Roblox game studio that combined programming, product direction, hiring, creator partnerships, advertising, community events, and investor communication.
The important part is the repeatability: taking ideas from rough concepts into shipped games, then learning from players, creators, and the community to make the next release stronger.
Selected games
Escape Bruno Running Head
Escape Bruno Running Head was the breakout release. I programmed the game myself, and it became the project that pulled the widest creator coverage and the strongest public attention. It was not the most visually impressive ForestlyGames project, but it proved the studio could ship a simple, readable game loop that creators wanted to play on camera.
Boss Battles
Boss Battles shows the more systems-heavy side of the portfolio: combat pacing, encounter design, progression thinking, and the kind of moment-to-moment readability that keeps a multiplayer game understandable under pressure.
RoEmpires
RoEmpires is an alpha strategy project. It belongs in the portfolio as evidence of broader product ambition: economy loops, territory control, player motivation, and long-form systems design.
Encaved
Encaved represents the studio’s moodier adventure and survival direction, with more emphasis on environment, pacing, and atmosphere than the breakout horror-obby format.
Evil Pets
Evil Pets added another angle to the portfolio: character-driven, collectible-style product thinking with a clearer marketing hook.

What it taught me
ForestlyGames is the clearest example of how my engineering and product sides connect. The games had to work, the teams had to move, the community had to care, and the public launch had to make sense. That combination is the actual story: not just one viral game, but a studio that repeatedly turned messy creative work into shipped products.
