The Haunted Pumpkin — A Cursed Halloween Night 🎃
I created a cinematic Halloween horror story featuring a haunted mansion, a cursed glowing pumpkin, a terrifying ghost, and a mysterious supernatural atmosphere. The video combines dramatic orange and purple lighting, eerie fog, suspenseful storytelling, and Halloween-inspired visuals to create an immersive horror experience.

The cursed glowing pumpkin caught my eye - using that visual cue to drive the whole atmosphere feels like a clever way to anchor the horror vibe.

Spent the last few days building Gourdgeous, a fun 3D jack-o’-lantern designer. I put GPU Canvas, custom WGSL shaders, Luau scripting, data binding, and state machines to work with Rive’s CLI and OpenAI Astra.
Create your own pumpkin, export it, and use it as your avatar or whatever. Fun for kids of all ages!

BEYOND THE FRAME 🎩✨
Three peculiar stories. One wonderfully distorted reality.
A suspiciously curious cat, an eccentric family with secrets dating back to 1892, and a collection of memories coming together to tell their own STORY.
For this project, I combined surreal AI-generated visuals with manually edited camera shakes, white flashes, music synchronisation and carefully timed transitions using the InVideo Editor.
Halfway through, my AI credits ran out — so I completed the remaining effects manually.
Apparently, even artificial intelligence has a budget. 😉
Creative direction, storytelling and final editing by The Triadic Studio.

DOMOVOI is a complete horror game inside a single Rive file.
Halloween night. You're a technician locked in the server room of an empty smart home. The system has detected an "unknown resident" and opens the locks only when you photograph it.
How to play (2-4 min, sound on):
Catch the resident with IR SNAPSHOT: the camera must point at the exact room and zone it is in.
Listen: each room has its own sound. Hover and click things in the picture; the technician's remarks are the only hints.
CAM 3 is offline. Fixing it is the first puzzle and leads to a device that shows where the resident is.
Every miss adds 20% SIGNAL INTERFERENCE. At 100% the console dies.
Stuck? CAM 2 RIGHT: router, then the wall socket, POWER, router again. CAM 3 LEFT: click the vacuum, open MAP, send it to a zone, snapshot the red mark.
Built with the Rive CLI and an AI agent (RML + Luau, 192 unit tests), a GPU Canvas WGSL shader for the camera feed, data binding and state machines. Sound from the Rive editor's library, voice recorded by me.
