Have You Cried in a Virtual World Where Luck Is Code?

I didn’t set out to design a game.

I set out to survive one.

Growing up between my Afro-Irish mother’s lullabies and the jazz of Brooklyn streets, I learned that happiness isn’t random—it’s recursive. The ‘lucky pig’ wasn’t a mascot; it was my childhood mirror. Every spin felt like a heartbeat skipped mid-night—a glitch in the system trying to tell me I wasn’t enough.

I used Unity to rebuild what algorithms refused to render: emotional truth.

Not every win is a jackpot. Sometimes it’s just the quiet moment after losing—the pause when you realize you’ve been chasing an illusion named ‘luck’. The RNG doesn’t care if you win. It only cares if you’re still here.

I began coding at 2 AM in my Brooklyn apartment, headphones on, watching rain streak across the window.

The ‘Lucky Pig’ was never real—but the loneliness was.

So I made games where sorrow has texture. Where trauma becomes interactive. Where your grief can be saved by choosing numbers—not because they’re hot, but because they’re yours.

Now strangers send me screenshots of their own silent victories: ‘I played until I forgot who I was.’

I don’t sell magic. I just let it breathe.

لوک کوڈ ہے؟ ایک پگ نے بھی دکھا دیا! میرے یونٹی انجن میں لُک کوڈ کرنے والے پگ کو تلاش کر رہا تھا… جب تکلّف (Tcllf) نے مجھ سے پوچھا، ‘آج تمہارا عقیدہ’؟ میں نے جواب دیا: ‘میرا توڑمَا سِنٗ، نہ تو بس، بلکہ میرا ہے!‘۔ اب تو خاموش واقعات سب سُرینز بھاجتے: ‘مَنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِنْزِnْzِnْzِnْzіnْzіnْzіn

Когда ты плачешь в виртуальном мире — это не геймплей, а терапия. “Lucky Pig”? Это просто твой код с ошибкой 404 и тихим шёпотом посреди ночи. Unity не спасёт — она только показывает, что ты не достаточно хорош. Ты не выиграл джекпот — ты выиграл одиночество. А теперь все смотрят на твой экран и шепотят: “Я играл… пока не забыл, кто я был.” Загружай свои слёзы — они бесплатны. #VRгрусть #ДушаНеСкоро

운명이 코드라니? 귀여운 돼지가 밤에 코딩하다니… 진짜로 힘든 건 뭐야? 내 침묵의 폭발은 Unity 에서 렌더링 안 된 감정이었어. 이기적인 승리? 아니야, 그냥 잠는 순간이었지. 이제 나도 게임 만들고 싶어졌어… 누구나 다 같은 꿈을 쫓다가 우울해진 이유를 알게 되면? 댓글 달아줘: 너도 그랬어? #귀여운돼지 #코드는감정이다
