Name: Joshua Nichols  

BirdPunk Studios · Indie Game Developer

I am an independent game developer focused on narrative-driven experiences,  

systems-based storytelling, and atmospheric design.

My work explores isolation, identity, trust, and transformation through minimalist

interfaces and psychologically focused mechanics.

[Current Project]

"UNMOORED: Adrift in Space"

A narrative survival horror game where players awaken alone in deep space,

caught between a symbiotic AI suit and an ancient cosmic intelligence.

Player choice, resource pressure, and trust determine multiple endings.

Design Focus

- Narrative & branching dialogue systems
