Hello, I'm Dr Oli
I'm Dr Oli Delgaram-Nejad, a corpus linguist turned indie game developer. NeuroKind Games is where I make the games I'd want my own family to play: ones that respect your time, your money and your attention.
Every game here is complete for whatever you pay, which is often nothing. There are no adverts, no loot boxes and no tracking. Some, like IRIS and Biscuits, put my research background to work: her understanding of speech is built from a corpus of the ways real people talk.
I design and direct every game; the building is done with Claude, Anthropic's AI. Claude writes the code, models, music and sound to my briefs, and we iterate together through playtests. Every asset is made for its game; the only outside pieces are open-source tools such as the three.js engine, credited in each game.
I share every game as it's made on my YouTube channel, Dr. Oli's Game Dev.
