Modern Day Money Making is a multiplayer open-world game with vehicles, VOIP, and an economic simulation running underneath. Building it forced me to solve real infrastructure problems — so I built four standalone frameworks to handle them.

CharacterCore — A modular, state-based character system handling movement, attributes, perspective switching, camera effects, animation, and audio. Dependencies only flow inward, so it never queries external systems.

VehicleCore — A physics-driven vehicle framework supporting multiple vehicle types, input schemes, and camera rigs. Plugs into the same state architecture as CharacterCore.

UICore — A UI framework for runtime menus, HUDs, and overlay systems. Handles state transitions, input rebinding displays, and data binding — all independent of game logic.

AloyInspector — A custom Unity Editor inspector system that generates rich, type-aware property drawers automatically. Cuts boilerplate for every other package.

The game is still in progress, but the frameworks are solid and ship-ready.

UnityMCP is an MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude, Codex, and Cursor automate tasks directly inside the Unity Editor. It ships with 40+ built-in tools for creating GameObjects, running tests, building projects, and more — and extending it is a single attribute. The HTTP server runs through a native C plugin so it survives domain reloads, which was the hard part. Open source on GitHub under GPLv3.

Specular is a tree-based dialogue scripting language I built at Blink Studios. It compiles down to a bytecode format that Unreal Engine reads at runtime, so our writers could create branching conversations, trigger game events, and do math without touching C++. I wrote the grammar in ANTLR4 and the transpiler in Java. The Unreal plugin that executes Specular scripts is closed source, but the language itself is on GitHub.
