Designed
to play.

A designer’s mind. An artist’s eye.
I turn ideas into games — and bring a little imagination to everything in between.

Give curiosity a roll

Creative instinct / 01

Start with a little “what if?”

Every good game begins with a question worth playing with.

More than a job titleLogic × intuition × a little chaos.

A human behind the pixels.

01 / The short version

I care about how things work.
And how they make you feel.

I’m Matin, a game designer at Medrick since July 2025. I work where rules, choices and imagination meet — making experiences people can actually play.

My creative life doesn’t stop at design. I paint, make digital art, explore 3D and motion, and use AI to open up new visual directions. These aren’t separate boxes. They’re different ways of thinking about the same thing: the experience on the other side of the screen.

Khosh TasOnline dice. Real competition.

A little luck.A lot of design.

From the first idea to a released game, I owned the end-to-end game design of Khosh Tas. Now I’m helping shape its visual world, too — creating art alongside my design work.

Good games are
a team sport.

Five more titles I’ve contributed to as a game designer. Different worlds, shared effort.

My role on these titles: game design contributor. Every title is the work of a team.

Learning by making.
Growing by doing.

A few things in my toolkit

One mind. Many ways to make.

Think in play.

Game design is my core: thinking through mechanics, choices and how the pieces of an experience fit together.

Game designLevel designSystems thinking

Make it feel something.

Drawing, digital art, 3D, photography and motion give my ideas a visual language. Photoshop, Blender and Premiere are part of that practice.

Human intent. AI tools.

I use AI to explore visual possibilities and create images. The direction, the taste and the final creative decision stay human.

04 / The other side of the brain

Away from the rules.
Into the feeling.

A small window into my visual world. Personal work, experiments, and things I made simply because I wanted to.

Sometimes the best way to think differently
is to make something different.

Let’s make play.
