WHO IS EVAN CAIE?

I'm a game designer with a passion for creating the weird and unexpected. From designing microgames to modding rotary phones into controllers, I dive headfirst into any problem with a user-centered mindset and a drive to make a difference.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking, collecting obscure musical instruments, and studying the lore of any media I happen to be consuming as if it is real history.

SAMPLE PROJECTS

Dinner and a Heist

Magni

Stance Off

A vertical slice demo of a point-and-click dating simulator, built over the course of an 8 month development cycle. I functioned as a puzzle designer and sound designer.

A motion-controlled fighter game jam project, in which I functioned as the team lead as well as playtest protocol designer and test facilitator.

MY CORE DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES

RAPID PROTOTYPING

THINKING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BOX

HUMAN-CENTRED THINKING

It's never too early to test. Find flaws fast.

The box exists for a reason. Break conventions only with purpose.

Every decision, no matter how small, is made with people as the focus.
