For the Epic Megajam 2025 - with the theme "Here We Go Again" - I had started out with an initial idea about our daily struggle of work & life balance. Although the idea worked for me, I realized quickly that I wouldn't be able to finish it in time before the game jam's one week deadline. I needed to pivot to something a little bit more manageable; what if you were a Bed & Breakfast owner, with new guests arriving?
I love cozy, cleaning and restoration games, so cleaning after messy guests would be a fun topic to explore. Your guests leave a star rating and review based on the cleanliness and effort of keeping your place in order. And this became SuperHost. After the Megajam, I released an update with more stability, scenarios, fixes and overall quality of life improvements.

My work on "SuperHost" included:

• Game framework and flow (restart, loading screen, flows)
• Created the UI & UX flow of the menus  
• Cleaning mechanics: return to spot, dispose and wipe surface    
• Player and camera controls
• Asset integration and material creation
• Full prop- and set dressing
• Full lighting pass using Lumen
• Optimizations
