I had to see if it would work.

An image can look perfect and still turn into a terrible 3D model. I’ve been working on a repeatable way to get from concept art to something I can actually use.

How much cleanup can I automate without losing what made the artwork good?

I got tired of moving things around in code every time I wanted to change the town. So I started building tools to place, review, and organize the world inside the world.

How do I make a weird little planet easier to build without breaking the actual game?

A zombie taking damage shouldn’t look like someone hit Pause on its walk animation. This is where I test reactions, movement, weapons, and the small things that make combat feel good.

How do I make a hit readable without enemies snapping, freezing, or getting stuck in reactions?

One custom operating system wasn’t enough, so I started giving it different personalities. The hard part is making the themes actually change the interface without breaking it.

Can the same apps, routes, and accessibility rules survive completely different theme treatments?

I built a portfolio that looks like a desktop, a phone, and a normal website. The same content has to survive all three.

The usable screen changes when the browser toolbar moves. Here’s a small test of why that matters.

I made a slide-to-unlock for a portfolio. Then I had to make sure sliding wasn’t the only way to get in.

A portfolio didn’t strictly need draggable windows and snapping. I built the geometry anyway.

Three planets from the WestCose Designs orbit scene. Rotate one, zoom in, or look at the models without having to open Blender.
