Finding Primrose

A short narrative exploration game set in Oakland, California. You play as a stray dog trying to regain trust and find food — navigating food trucks, the waterfront, and Lake Merritt through exploration and environmental interactions. Completable in 5–10 minutes.

Four stats — Trust, Hope, Hunger, and Energy — accumulate across your choices and determine one of four possible endings. The world shifts with you: color saturation rises after positive moments, drains after negative ones. The music follows.

Primrose is a real Staffy mix, adopted from Oakland animal services in April 2025. The harbor scene was built from real Oakland reference photos.

Built in Unity 6 LTS, delivered as a WebGL browser experience, developed collaboratively across the US, UK, and China.

Sentiment Mesh

A weekend project analyzing how different communities discuss AI. Pulled the top 50 posts from the last month across six subreddits — r/ChatGPT, r/ArtificialIntelligence, r/Futurology, r/Jobs, r/DigitalMarketing, r/AI — and mapped sentiment in 3D.

Sentiment controls vertical position (positive floats up, negative sinks). Recency controls depth. Subreddit controls horizontal grouping. Overall sentiment was more positive than expected.
