Furkan Canturk

Hi there, I am Furkan Canturk, a Unity gameplay systems programmer and designer with 2+ years of experience in C# and rapid prototyping. I build AI behaviour, simulations, and multiplayer systems. Previously worked as an intern at Phantom Compass.

I published 2 Unity Assets including an AI Behaviour system on the Unity Asset Store, released Block Breakout on Google Play, and wrote Ordeal, a gamified fitness system available on Amazon and Gumroad. In total I shipped 14+ games and projects across game jams, simulations, and commercial releases.

Based in Kitchener, Ontario. Open to gameplay programming and design roles, with a PGWP.

Flagship Projects

Erebus

Erebus
itch.io
Itch.io

Solo – 2 days (~12 hours)

A 3D microscopic strategy game set inside a blood vessel. Players spend DNA to spawn bacteria and white cells against the opposing pathogenic faction, buying permanent upgrades and switching between a top-down command view and an interior camera. Custom assets modelled in Maya, built in Unity URP.

Crown of Domination

Crown of Domination

Itch.io

Solo – January to April 2026

Social multiplayer RPG built on feudal power dynamics. Players vote, conspire, and overthrow each other to claim the crown. Two factions of up to four, built in Unity 6 on Photon Fusion 2 with a host/client model: clients predict movement and attacks locally while the host remains the only authority on damage, roles, and crown ownership. Not publicly playable. Builds available on request.

Personal Game / Simulation Projects

Tape of Life

The Tape of Life
itch.io
Itch.io

Solo – ~3 weeks (40+ hours)

A real time natural selection sandbox where you set the ocean, not the creature. Six genes feed a per tick energy equation, so cells that profit divide and the rest starve. The three domains of life emerge from mutation and competition, or they fail to.

Time Dilation
Simulation

Time Dilation Simulation
itch.io
Itch.io

Solo – ~10 days (20 hours)

A relativity simulator running exact Lorentz factors, not approximations. Velocity is stored as its complement to hold precision near light speed. Ship time runs as proper time while Earth races ahead, shown on two clocks and two calendars.

Encyclopedia
Galactica

Encyclopedia Galactica
itch.io
Itch.io

Solo – ~10 hours

An interactive Drake Equation simulator inspired by Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Players adjust variables to estimate extraterrestrial civilizations across the Milky Way, browsing a procedural catalogue of alien entries. Built in Unity with 3D space visuals.

Block Breakout

Block Breakout
itch.io Google Play
Itch.io Google Play

Solo – Shipped to Google Play

An arcade paddle game built in Unity and my first release to the Google Play Store. Scoring, difficulty curves, and power-up values are driven by CSV data read at runtime, so tuning never required a rebuild. Getting it live meant Android build settings, keystore signing, and working through internal testing, open testing, and production under Play Console policy.
