Games & real-time / 2026

Portfolio Universe

The site you are on: a PS1-style start screen, a walkable room where my story plays chapter by chapter, and two arcade games inside it.

Melih and the two cabinets in the portfolio arcade

Context

A CV lists what someone has done and rarely shows how they think. I wanted the portfolio itself to be the evidence: a piece of real-time work you walk through rather than read.

What I did

I designed and built it for the browser with Next.js, React Three Fiber and three.js: a character on his own Mixamo rig, a story told as a dialogue between him and a robot, baked environments, synthesised footsteps and menu sounds, and two games in the arcade, Star Fighter and Horror at the Gas Station.

Result

A portfolio that is also a playable piece of work, in English and Turkish, with this plain read beside it for anyone who wants the facts first.
