My work

How Bad Are Bananas? was developed for Future We Want, a small sustainability-focused organisation. The goal was to create a game that made carbon footprint education engaging and approachable, guiding players through the environmental cost of everyday products. I was responsible for the core gameplay programming, UI/UX design, and animations.

Some of my most notable contributions and learnings include:

• Creating the fully voiced dialogue system using the Yarn Spinner API, which allowed us to create a branching narrative with multiple endings.
• Developed the card management and scoring system central to the gameplay loop.
• Designed and implemented the puzzles, and the complete progression from level select through to end screen with saved progress.
• Created detailed popups and a compendium for players to review what they had learned, with a CO2e emissions tracking bar during gameplay.
• Implemented audio feedback for UI interactions and visual polish including reward and end-screen animations.
