Dark Heavens Explored began as a simple university project with my 5 friends.
As the project manager for Dark Heavens Explored, I follow the Agile/Scrum methodology to successfully lead my team of 5 people. DHE debut at Supanova 2025, winning the People's Choice Award Certificate. Since then, development has done anything but slow down, introducing new mechanics, ways to play, interactions, location, and so much more.
Alongside my role as the project manager, I am also the lead artist. DHE uses a HD-2D to create unique martial arts style combat against mythical demons based on Chinese mythology.
Based off Kylie Chan's book series, Dark Heavens.

After discovering the history of her heritage, Emma dedicates her life to refining her skills in martial arts in order to protect the mountain academy, which is becoming increasingly under threat by the celestial demons.
Ancient Demons
The site unfolds like an exhibition, with full-bleed imagery, slow transitions and short texts. Since launch, the studio has doubled its inbound requests from architects and hospitality brands.
