Hi, I'm Emmanuel, a versatile game developer working across Minecraft, Unity, Roblox & FiveM.
I create Minecraft plugins, mods, and complete modpacks for Java and Bedrock; Unity games in C# for PC, console, and mobile; Roblox experiences in Lua with combat and RPG systems; and custom FiveM/GTA V scripts on ESX and QBCore. I handle everything from server setup and custom mechanics to UI/UX, multiplayer networking, bug fixing, and performance optimization. No matter the engine, I write clean code and keep you updated at every stage.
Send your project details and let's build something great.
FAQ
What does "core mechanics" include?
Win conditions, turn structure, the actions players can take, how resources or points work, how players interact, and what triggers the end of the game.
How do you balance a game without playtesters?
I walk through the rules turn by turn and check for dominant strategies, runaway leaders, dead turns and first-player advantage, then adjust costs, points and pacing to fix them.
Do you run playtests with real people?
No. I stress-test the rules on paper and deliver a written report on Premium. For live feedback you will still want real testers, and I can revise the rules from their notes.
What size are the printable prototype cards?
Standard poker size (2.5 x 3.5 in) laid out on A4 or US Letter sheets for home printing. For a professional printer, send me its template and I will match it.
Can you design a trading card game (TCG)?
Yes. I design the card types, cost curve, rarity tiers and balance rules. Artwork is not included, but I can lay out card frames and placeholders you can drop art into.
