Founder
VISIONS is a creative modular card game for 2-8 people. This party game tests your creativity and how the players interpret each others connotations and visions. The game was made as a student project on the course From Idea to Shelf: Design for the Aalto University Shop! Prototype ready, awaiting possible production in 2020. Due to expensive production and an order of only 50 copies, we decided to move onto other projects and only a playable prototype remains.
VISIONS
A 1-4 player deck building rogue-like card game set in a semi-procedurally generated dark fantasy world. Currently designing deck archetypes and character classes to test in Tabletop Simulator.
Grim Trail
A live-action roleplaying escape room experience. I run yearly events for my friends, where we take rounds being monsters and survivors. Survivors are trying to find the last key to the exit while solving puzzles, while the monsters are trying to catch them in the building.
Seekers
A tabletop roleplaying ruleset and world. A minimalistic homebrew ruleset that emphasizes player freedom and narrative roleplaying in a sci-fi/lovecraftian/archeological world
Drifting Horizons
A political satire about social media echo chambers, where the player assumes the role of a consulting parrot. The parrot unfortunately can't voice their own opinion, which leads to the parrot researching opinions on social media.
Wingin' It!
A game about finding new pairs for socks that are missing their pair. Basically a Tinder for socks. I was responsible for writing, music and SFX.
Sole Mates
Made in the Global Game Jam 2020, Grim Repair Oy. tasks you to handle the upkeep of the king's toilets. The inspiration for the game was using art from the middle ages and renaissance and animating it. I did the sound FX, writing and voice acting for the game.
Grim Repair Oy.
https://globalgamejam.org/2020/games/grime-repaire-3
My first Game Jam game. The game was supposed to be a lovecraftian roguelike game, where all the items are both blessed and cursed. I did the level design for the partial first level, some pixel art, the sound effects and ambient sounds and was the liaison between our composer and the team.
Baneful Blessings
https://jesnuka.itch.io/baneful-blessings
A tabletop roleplaying campaign, blending elements from survival, exploration and Metroidvania games. Players were stranded on a hostile planet, exploring ancient ruins, surviving with the goal to eventually get off the planet.

As of August 2020 I became officially a member of the board in FGJ as the lead for both the Youth team and the Awards team. As the Youth team lead I'm currently working to build a better system across Finland to integrate our people and knowledge with Gamedevclubs in different cities run by youth services. We are doing this work to get more youth involved in the game jamming community and to eventually have our own youth jams. As the awards team lead I'm responsible with organizing the FGJ Awards 2020 to award the best games that came out of jams organized by FGJ this year.
