I’m Shana, a creator who makes narrative focused games and prototypes. My work focuses on how story can be implemented through systems such as state-based progression, reactivity, and journaling mechanics that help players understand and remember what they’ve experienced. I also enjoy building gameplay AI, that is NPC behaviours that support mood and storytelling through movement, perception, and timing. As an Indigenous creator, I’m motivated by how underrepresented Indigenous stories remain in games, and I’m committed to creating work that supports more accurate, intentional representation.
