Raft Life

Wake up on a scrap of wood. Chop, fish, farm, and push the raft out into a bigger life while a shark eats the floor out from under you.

01 Case study

What I built

Raft Life is a survival builder with a clean loop: gather, expand, defend. Trees, fishing, crops, new deck, and the shark that turns a quiet session into a scramble. The fantasy is owning a little island you made, not reading a craft wiki.

I was the main Unity developer and took the same project across mobile and Nintendo Switch. That is the useful part of this credit - not just a phone game with a listing, but a console SKU with the input, performance, and cert work that implies.

Around ten million downloads across iOS, Android, and Switch. The iOS listing is gone; Android and Nintendo are still up.
