“My passion lies in ambitious storytelling. As a creator, I believe in the power of collaboration and the depth of emotional translation. ACNL: Before Me is more than a fan project; it’s an exploration of isolation and the darkness that can hide within the most familiar places. By sharing my process, I hope to bridge the gap between imagination and execution for the entire 3D community.”

“Before Me” is a 5-episode 3D animated series that subverts the “cozy” expectations of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Built entirely in Blender, the project explores the haunting mystery of a town where hospitality is a mask, and the role of “Mayor” is a trap.
The series follows Nathan, a young man seeking a fresh start, who is unexpectedly thrust into the role of Mayor in the town of Apak. As he integrates into the community, the idyllic veneer begins to crack, revealing a cycle of disappearance and a dark connection to the town’s folklore.
Ep. 1: A New Face – Nathan arrives in Apak. The welcome is too warm; the coincidences are too frequent.
Ep. 2: I Must Go – A forged letter from Nathan’s mother triggers his desire to leave, only to find the rails are “broken.”
Ep. 3: Egg Hunt – The investigation begins. Nathan discovers the archives of “Paul” and the stack of intercepted mail.
Ep. 4: The Hollow Echo – The truth of the Gyroids is revealed. The town isn’t just a community; it’s a graveyard.
Ep. 5: The Departure – A violent confrontation with Amiral leads to a desperate escape. The cycle is broken… for now.
I recreated entirely MarioKart 7 in Blender to make an Unreal Engine 5 game out of it.
I recreated the Hello Neighbor house with an environment around. I tried to recreate that warm atmosphere that I feel when I play to this game.
