Fluffy Carnage is a roguelite hack'n slash action game where players control Chii, a chinchilla on a mission to reach her office, no matter the cost. Battle through twisted worlds, defeat cosmic entities, and survive the madness in this chaotic, fast-paced adventure.

I'm leading a team of 10 in the development of Fluffy Carnage. My main role is Lead Programmer, overseeing a team of three programmers and guiding the technical direction. I manage the implementation of core gameplay mechanics, systems architecture, and overall project structure, ensuring high-quality execution across all stages of development.

Sneak Peek... Sort Of

Who needs videos when you can imagine the action, right? Our game is still in the early stages of development, and the characters are so busy fighting cosmic horrors that they haven’t had time to film any trailers. But don’t worry—when we’ve got something worth showing, it’s going to blow your mind! Until then, feel free to enjoy the anticipation and maybe picture a few explosions in your head.
