About / Empty Heart Games
Hello, I’m David.
I’m a lifelong player, now making games of my own in my spare time. Empty Heart Games is where I share what I’m working on.

What inspires me
I grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s, playing Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation and just about anything else I could get my hands on. Games were a big part of my childhood, and they’ve stayed with me ever since.
The worlds, stories and characters I discovered made me want to create my own. That’s what brought me here: making the sorts of games I’d enjoy playing, and hoping other people find something to enjoy in them too.
A spare-time project
I work on these games on my own, whenever I can fit them around everyday life. I’m learning as I go, trying out ideas and enjoying the challenge of making them work. Above all, I do it for fun — and because there’s something lovely about seeing an idea become a game you can actually play.
