Some of my personal rojects...
Dangdut Rumble
DANGDUT RUMBLE is a game about STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT with your giant SPEAKER while jamming to DANGDUT!
Connect a microphone and shout ASIK ASIK JOSS! to knock your opponent with your sound system!
Play with up to 8 FRIENDS and try be the last standing on the stage!
This project is meant to test out Photon's feature using its Authentication system, Lobby system, and fully networked play. There were a few hijinks here and there, but for the most part the game is polished enough and the core mechanics are finished and balanced. Bring a friend and try the game here.
Blocky Babel
Blocky Babel is a short strategic building board game where the first player to build and reach the 3rd level wins!
Blocky Babel was made one day when I suddenly had an idea for a board game. I was imagining a classic plastic-like board game with goofy character animations, so i decided to make this one digital.
Creating this, I wanted polish in mind so I focused more on the "game feel" than expanding the mechanics.
I also managed to learn 3D modelling blender, something I had put off for quite some time at the time!
You can try the game here.
Love Bug
Love_Bug is a game where you prevent your human from loving anyone but you, a computer!
Press "0" or "1" to type in codes and "Spacebar" to match the code!
Build your combo and gain a lot of score!
This project is made for the Confession Jam 2.
You can try the game here.
What people I've worked with said about me...
Arya is a great teammate to work with. Very knowledgeable and insightful, with the capability of complex problem-solving. Whether it's technical or management things, you can always discuss them with him.

What people I've worked with said about me...
He's undoubtedly good. A very team player with high passion for games in all scales and genres. You can't go wrong trusting management and designing stuff to Arya due to his massive experience in game industry by playing various games and or creating it.
