Insecure: The Come Up Game

Insecure: The Come Up Game takes the television world of Issa Dee and her friends from the hit HBO show Insecure. Hustle, heart and hype are your tools to build your new life in Los Angeles. With Issa and her crew as your guides, you navigate the messy business of adulting – learning to define yourself, fight for your city, cultivate your crew, and nurture your closest friends.

The game is in active development by Glow Up Games and the early access version is currently available on both Google Play and the App Store

I worked as a Lead Engineer on this project, joining the company in 2020 when the project was just leaving the prototype stage and shepherding the code through to release. Along the way, I contributed to both code and design across the game, ranging from the dialogue system to the innovative Rhyme Step mechanic which blends deck-building with Mad Libs freestyle rapping.
