Hello, I’m Vincent.
I design games.
About me.
With a career across film production, boutique manufacturing, and leadership of a successful digital design agency… I’ve wandered around a bit helping people transform ideas into palpable experiences, both physical and digital. I’ve now settled into designing games, not because I’ve loved gaming my entire life—I have—but because the creative process of making games touches so many fulfilling aspects of my previous roles and more.
I am based in Vancouver or Montreal during the year, guided mostly by the seasons I’m teaching game design in Vancouver 😂

Below is a collection of the game projects I’ve worked on. I regularly build game prototypes using Unreal Engine 5 as part of my exploration and research. These projects will be gradually shared on my itch.io page—https://chawanmushi.itch.io/.
Adventures Inc.
Fame, fortune... goblin business ethics? Welcome to Adventures Inc. a point-and-click puzzle game. Run a cutthroat talent agency connecting would-be heroes to adventures.
Adventures Inc. is a vertical slice prototype I designed and developed using UE5 and Blueprints that takes inspiration from Papers, Please and the Choose Your Own Adventure series of books.

Umbra
An atmospheric action role-playing platformer set in a sprawling 2.5D world. Arm yourself and team up with an uncanny ally to illuminate the path forward.
Umbra is a solo exploration of UE5’s 2D tools. The prototype features a tutorial level with three distinct zones, covering movement mechanics, combat against an AI enemy, and a single questline to resolve.

Tout Suite is a multiplayer party game focused on fast-paced and frantic minigames. Developed during a game jam by a team of five, it combines the frenetic gameplay of Overcooked with the existential dread of White Lotus.

Projects, collaborations, explorations, research and events from my past design life. These are a reminder of the ideas that have kept me up late over the years.
