You are a newspaper editor deciding which stories make the headlines. Accept or reject the news, lay out your front page and shape public opinion.
My contributionA narrative Tinder-like prototype inspired by Reigns, still in development: game design, Unity development with Claude Code and art assets, with a dedicated QA tester.

My work
Game Design
Game design
Game Concept Document in Notion and mechanics design. Players act as a newspaper's editor-in-chief: they set the editorial line by choosing which news to publish and laying out the front page.
UX
What the prototype had to validate
The prototype tested two ideas: a Tinder-like mechanic to sort the news, and laying out the newspaper's front page. Players pick their articles while keeping an eye on several opinion poles to balance.
ResultThe QA feedback was mostly about UX: players need to understand how each news item affects their gauges. The following iterations made these signals clearer.
Scripting
Development with Claude Code
The project came from wanting to quickly validate a Reigns-inspired mechanic while challenging myself technically. All the game code is written with Claude Code, which let me iterate fast and focus on design rather than debugging. Integrated the assets and scripts in Unity 6.
Production
Production pipeline
Git hosted on my NAS, version control with Fork and Tailscale. A dedicated QA tester tests the builds regularly and reports tickets in Jira.
Art
Art assets
Made the art assets in Adobe Illustrator.
