IT STARTSWITH AFEELING.

I build the games you feel.
And the systems you don’t see.

FROM EXPERIMENT TO RELEASE

01 / SELECTED WORK

THE FEELING,
SHIPPED.

Games, daily habits, new possibilities. Three products. The same attention to what happens after you tap.

01 / MOBILE PUZZLESOLE DEVELOPER

HOLE
CRAZE

A small hole.
A whole world of systems.

I developed Hole Craze on my own at Lightwell Games — from the first interaction to level tools, performance, live operations and backend.

BEHIND THE GAME

One developer.
The whole loop.

I developed the gameplay in full: the interactions, game logic and systems that turn a level into something you can play.

UNITY / HEALTH

Everyday movement, made rewarding. A mobile product connecting steps, health data and real rewards.

02 / HOW I BUILD

INPUT → SYSTEM → FEELING

THE MAGIC IS
IN THE DETAILS.

I’m Serhat, a senior game developer in Istanbul. I work across gameplay, architecture and connected systems. I care about the response you feel, and everything it takes to deliver it.

01 / INPUT

Make it respond.

The first touch matters. Controls, game logic and mechanics should make the next move feel natural.

Unity · C# · Gameplay · Editor tools

02 / SYSTEM

Give it structure.

Clear responsibilities, reusable tools and deliberate performance work. Systems that leave room for the next idea.

DOTS / ECS · Zenject · UniTask · Addressables

03 / FEEDBACK

Keep it connected.

A game continues after release. Backends, multiplayer and live operations keep the experience moving.

Photon · PlayFab · Azure · ASP.NET · LiveOps

The little experiment above follows the same chain. Switch to the system view to see it in motion.

03 /The journey

Always
levelling up.

From writing the first line to shipping the whole experience.
