Behind the worlds

Hi, I’m Mayflare.
Pull up a chair.

A game developer, yuri fan, and sci-fi writer at Mayflare Magic. I’m drawn to intimate stories and simple rules that turn into something unexpected.

Background & influences

I’m Mayflare, a member of Mayflare Magic studio — yuri fan, game developer, and sci-fi writer.

I received offers / admission from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) ETC and Duke GDDI, and ultimately chose the HKUST Guangzhou (HKUST GZ) MFA.

I read widely across games, film, and literature — especially K.J. Parker’s cool, precise, darkly funny craft.
I love designing emergence: simple rules that collide into surprising behavior, as in Throng: Evolution.

I build with Unity and Ren’Py. Long-running projects include Lastrip (a Mayflare Magic post-apocalyptic yuri VN) and the online sandbox Xenia Kingdom.
Ruri Empress is an epistolary yuri visual novel available on itch.io. The full HTML game is playable in your browser.

There’s always another chair

Before you go,
say hello.

A game you loved? A tiny idea? A world you’d like to make together? I’d love to hear it.
