Carrier

Carrier grew from an audio visualizer: spatial forms, spheres and node fields already responded to sound. I wanted to find out whether that language could support a game instead of remaining a passive image.

A visualizer can be beautiful without telling a player what to do. The design task was to make the audio response meaningful to movement, orientation and feedback while keeping the world legible enough to learn.

I shaped the product concept, visual language and interaction, built the playable prototype with AI-assisted development, and designed its onboarding and controls. Carrier is an independent project, not a client commission.

I kept the visualizer's node-based depth, then connected it to player action. The courier has a clear center; the world supplies spatial cues; the tutorial teaches movement in short steps before the player is asked to navigate freely.

The working build includes a playable world, onboarding, keyboard and mouse controls, built-in music and progress indicators. The separate browser release lets a visitor experience the interaction directly.

A playable product now demonstrates the transition from audio-reactive visual system to an interactive world. The build proves the concept can be played and taught; I am not claiming commercial traction or validated retention metrics.
