🌕 HITODAMA — The lake is silent.

An interactive psychological horror experience inspired by Japanese folklore. You play as a lone ferryman crossing mysterious waters where drifting fog, strange shadows, and the unknown turn a quiet journey into something unsettling.

What I built:

- A cinematic, moonlit 3D lake environment. - A custom WGSL fog shader running on Rive's GPU Canvas. - An interactive Haunt slider that lets you intensify the atmosphere. - Rive-powered effects built using the Rive CLI, Rive Markup Language, Luau scripting, and data binding.

The lake environment was the foundation. For the @Rive Halloween Challenge, I wanted to push it further by creating a supernatural layer that responds to the player instead of remaining a static visual effect.

This project was an exploration of how code, shaders, and interactive design can turn an atmospheric scene into an experience.

So, Ready to cross the lake?

excited to play.

Just wrapped up a new cinematic sci-fi short focusing on grounded human emotion, practical miniature aesthetics, and analog cinematography. This 90-second sequence follows two engineers fighting for survival through a dense asteroid belt on their cargo run to the diamond exoplanet 55 Cancri e.

practical miniatures inside an ai pipeline is such a good combo. the analog look sells every frame
