The Mind Behind It
WickedDelight operates at the intersection of solo game development, cinematic Unreal work, long-form fiction, and founder-led tech execution. The throughline is a clear one: build worlds with enough texture, rules, and pressure that they feel lived in before they ever ship.
The work spans prototypes, reels, fiction systems, launch planning, and the stubborn parts of building alone without losing ambition. Chicago is home base. Science fiction is the default language. Shipping is the long game.
