Yash Bhavsar
Game Developer / Game Programmer
I'm a Unity game developer with 3+ years of experience, building gameplay systems, AI-driven NPCs, and the modular, event-driven architecture that keeps them maintainable. I've shipped a game to Google Play, and I'm building toward my own studio, Cosmic Dream.
I've spent the last three years learning what it actually takes to ship a game - not just a prototype that works in the editor, but a system that survives real players, app store requirements, and deadlines. Carrom Legends taught me what publishing really demands; game jams and web experiments keep me quick at solving problems I haven't solved before.
I mostly focus on building modular, event-driven architecture to keep the code standardised and clean, following established guidelines and principles rather than ad-hoc shortcuts - it's the layer that never shows up in a trailer, but it's what makes a project maintainable past day one.
Projects
A few of the things I've shipped, prototyped, and taken through a full development process. Each one opens into a full case study - the idea, my role, and how it was actually built.
About
I'm Yash Bhavsar, a game developer with 3+ years of hands-on experience building games and interactive experiences - across personal projects, internships, and collaborative development. My primary focus is Unity, where I work across both 2D and 3D, turning gameplay ideas into systems people can actually play.
I'm currently pursuing a B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, while continuing to build, test, and ship through practical projects alongside it.
My Craft - Game Development
Unity is my primary engine, and C# is the language I reach for most. Over time I've worked across gameplay mechanics, player interactions, game rules and turn management, UI integration, and modular system architecture - along with AI-controlled opponents, animation, physics, and the systems that tie it all together into a working game.
My experience spans both independent development and working within teams during internships and collaborative projects. Independent work pushes me to own the entire pipeline, from design through polish. Team projects teach a different skill - fitting into an existing codebase, adapting to shared systems, and building alongside other developers.
I'm also exploring Three.js and browser-based 3D, carrying the same systems-thinking into interactive experiences built for the web.
The Side Quest - Cosmic Dream Studio
Beyond individual projects, I'm working toward something bigger: an independent game studio of my own. Through Cosmic Dream Studio, I'm learning what it actually takes to carry a game from an idea to something published - not just the code, but the product thinking, creative direction, and the discipline of shipping something other people can play.
The long-term goal is to grow the studio past solo development, and eventually bring together a team of people who care about making games as much as I do. I'm not there yet, but it's the throughline behind most of what I build.

Game development sits on top of a broader engineering foundation. I work with C++ for general programming and problem-solving, use Python for automation and small tools, and have built backend services with Java and Spring Boot. I'm also interested in system design - how components fit together and stay maintainable as a project grows - which shows up directly in how I structure gameplay systems and architecture.
Outside the Editor
Outside the editor, I'm a bit of a productivity nerd - I like experimenting with tools, workflows, and personal knowledge-management systems, and tinkering with electronics and IoT just to understand how things work. I also keep a journal, and recently started sharing some of that thinking on my blog: game breakdowns, systems design notes, and the occasional reflection.
