Playful experiments with varying levels of polish

Game Prototypes

These are side projects and prototypes where I experiment with the overlap between games, movement, community, and storytelling. Some are tiny proofs of concept. Some are full-on weird little worlds. All of them are meant to make fitness feel more fun.

You Are The Platform preview
Camera game Movement controls

You Are The Platform

A browser-based movement game where your body becomes the controller. The camera detects head motion so you can physically tilt the platform, blending casual fitness and arcade mechanics into one delightfully odd concept.

Highlights: webcam input, head-tilt controls, and a playful game jam vibe.

Fitness Project Simulator preview
Management sim Community growth

Fitness Project Simulator

A retro “Lemonade Stand” inspired simulator for building a local fitness club or community organization over time. The core loop focuses on weekly decisions, participant growth, and balancing momentum, retention, and the realities of running a movement community.

Highlights: management-sim framing, retro inspiration, and a week-by-week progression model centered on participation.

Just Show Up Online preview
Social MMO concept Fitness data driven

Just Show Up Online

A community-first online world where real workout data powers progression. The prototype explores how Strava-style imports, streaks, challenges, and "stoke boards" could turn showing up for fitness into a social leveling system.

Highlights: realtime town square, consistency-focused rankings, community actions, and workout import flows.

The Monday Mission preview
Audio adventure Narrative workout

The Monday Mission

A story-driven running experience where the workout structure is woven directly into the narrative. Chapters, prompts, route choices, and intensity settings combine to make a run feel like a playable mission instead of a static training plan.

Highlights: chapter timeline, adaptive workout beats, captions, community prompts, and “stoke gained” progression.
