In development · the game and its studio
MoonBeat
A rhythm game about a cat called Moon, and the studio I built to make it. Still on the workbench, but far enough along to show: the game plays, and the tool behind it is one of the most complete things I’ve built.

01 · The game
Moon, a cat, and the beat
A joyful rhythm game made for phones and tablets, held upright. You guide Moon, a bouncing cat, across glowing paw pads, and original “meow” songs drive every pounce, colour pulse and landing. Built with Three.js, wrapped for iOS and Android.

02 · Beat Sync
The machine finds the beat. I decide what it means.
Every song goes through my own beat analyzer: a neural model for beats and downbeats, with a second, classic detector kept as independent evidence. That's only the starting point: in Beat Sync I review and adjust the chart by ear, against the waveform, because rhythm is a musical decision.

03 · World Editor
A 3D world you can walk around and reshape
MoonBeat Studio is the desktop tool I built to make the game. Its World Editor shows the level exactly as the game will: orbit around the floating islands, select any group, move, rotate or scale it, and check it through the in-game camera on a phone or tablet frame before a single playtest.

04 · Made for agents too
Every Studio action has a command line twin
Creating a level is a validated operation with a CLI behind it, with structured output and a dry run, so my agents can stage levels and worlds while I keep the creative calls: the music, the chart and the look.

- 02 upload the song
