Gameplay & Systems Designer

I'm Humza Mustafa, a game designer based in the UK. With five years of building games, from solo horror projects and game jams to 16-person productions, which have shaped my focus: I specialise in gameplay and systems design. The mechanics that make a fight feel meaningful, an enemy feel intelligent, and a loop feel satisfying are what I strive to create.

I want to work on games where design decisions have genuine weight, at an indie studio where I can shape a whole game, or at a larger studio where I can go deep on the combat and systems that define how it's played. What drives me is not just shipping something, but shipping something the whole team is proud of.

Collaboration and a positive creative environment matter as much to me as the work itself. This is an industry I genuinely love, and I believe that shows in how I design, how I communicate, and the kind of teammate I try to be.
