Product Studio

Teach practical café talk through a game loop: lesson equals bake, serve equals practice.

Decision

Skip the flashcard list. Five staff voices teach five speaking styles, and the café loop makes you use what you just learned.

Shipped result

A playable web beta with Spanish and French, display-case stock, short lessons, cafe counter, recipe book, and coins / diamonds / XP.

Deferred

Full illustrated asset pass, extra languages, and heavier audio. The loop ships first.

Next release

Art and content pass on the loop that already plays.

Evidence

Play the beta — complete a first-run lesson and put a cake in the case.

Language learning Game loop Vanilla JS Vite

Play Beta

Turn location, timing, mood, budget, and distance into a short list of date ideas in under a minute.

Decision

Ship each slice as something you can actually use. Hold the polish pass until search, radius, and AI picks work end to end.

Shipped result

A live, phone-ready flow: pick a place, set the vibe and radius, get a short list of AI-curated date ideas. API keys stay on the server.

Deferred

Richer loading states, micro-interactions, and a mobile results sheet. Nice to have — not needed for the first release.

Next release

Finish that polish backlog without reopening the core product.

Evidence

Open DateLight — you can go from “where?” to a short list of date ideas in under a minute.

AI curation Maps PWA

Try DateLight

Every run turns a grey, depleted city into something colorful.

Decision

Build it in the browser with Three.js instead of a full game engine — lighter, deploys as a webpage, and I own how it looks.

Shipped result

A playable endless runner with lane movement, collisions, and a color-spread effect that paints the grey city as you run.

Deferred

Custom character assets and horn-drill polish. Saved for later so the beta could ship.

Next release

Grow the single-city run into suburbs, city, and industrial zones.

Evidence

Play the beta — the city starts grey and fills with color as you run.

Three.js GLSL Game design Object pooling

Play Beta

A small toy, not a feature-heavy game: discover a world, greet it, spin it, and generate another.

Decision

Ship it as a full-screen game only. No tabs, no ads chrome, no platform shell getting in the way.

Shipped result

A small React shell around the working planet toy — greet it, spin it, generate another world.

Deferred

Tabs, ads, and platform UI stayed out of the public release.

Next release

Move remaining game modules into React gradually, without rewriting the working core all at once.

Evidence

Open Hello Whirled — three actions, full screen, nothing else competing for attention.
