Lonely Space Robot
A solo game project built from scratch in Unity — created in just 2 days to explore solitude, memory, and the atmosphere of a forgotten world through art and environment.
Overview
Role: Solo Developer & Visual Designer
Period: Spring 2022
Company: Lonely Space Robot — A self-initiated, third-person exploration game built entirely in Unity using C# and freely available assets.
Born out of curiosity and a love for calm, scenic environments, I created this solo game project with no prior coding experience. The game places you in the role of a lone robot — the last of its kind — wandering a remote, post-apocalyptic island scattered with remnants of civilization. Every building, object, lighting cue, and ambient sound was placed with intention to tell a wordless story about memory, loss, and peace.
This project helped me realize how code and art can work together to create emotional space — even when nothing is said.

Key Contributions
Narrative Visual Design
Created an immersive third-person environment with no dialogue — using setting, lighting, and silence to tell the story.
Solo Game Development
Built the game entirely in Unity over 2 days using C#, with no prior programming background.
Scenic World Building
Composed every scene, building, and environmental detail using free Unity assets, custom object placement, and terrain tools.
Mechanics & Environment Triggers
Developed time-based day/night cycles, proximity-based soundboxes, and character movement logic.
Sound & Mood Design
Integrated ambient SFX and background music to shape emotional pacing and player immersion.
"I built Lonely Space Robot to explore a feeling more than a game. It’s a quiet world, not just a finished project — proof that curiosity and art are enough to start building something real."
