Deeper systems. Meaningful choices.
NovaVoro Interactive creates gameplay and realism-focused mods, games, and tools. The goal is simple: build systems that make what the player does matter.
About
Systems built with intent.
NovaVoro Interactive focuses on mechanics that create understandable consequences, believable progression, and more interesting decisions without burying the player in unnecessary complexity.
What I build
I develop gameplay mods, simulation systems, tools, and original game concepts. Current mod work focuses on Farming Simulator 25 and Project Zomboid.
Across projects, the common thread is systems-driven design: progression should reflect what a character does, farming decisions should carry consequences, and mechanics should create choices instead of busywork.
Design priorities
Meaningful choices. Systems should give the player something worth deciding.
Grounded realism. Real-world ideas are used where they improve gameplay.
Modular design. Players should be able to use the systems that fit their game.
Player-first clarity. Complexity belongs under the hood when possible.
Projects
Released and in development.
Publicly released mods remain available through their normal platforms. Patreon is used for development updates, early looks, and behind-the-scenes design work.
Farming Simulator 25
Gameplay • realism • production • economySoil Health
A longer-term field-management system exploring soil compaction, field traffic, recovery, and management decisions that carry forward between seasons.
Crop Contracts
Buyer-driven crop agreements with reputation, progression, negotiation, and new reasons to plan what gets planted and delivered.
Corn Feed Expansion
Expands corn into additional feed products and production chains, including cracked corn and feed recipes for livestock operations.
Regional Units
Region-based agricultural display units for the United States, EU, UK, and Australia, including crop-appropriate conversions such as bushels.
Project Zomboid
Progression • exertion • survival • long-term systemsBurden Training
Builds on Project Zomboid's overweight-training mechanic so moving while overloaded can contribute more meaningfully to Strength and Fitness progression.
View on Steam Workshop →Natural Fitness
Makes sustained ordinary activity such as running and sprinting contribute more meaningfully to Fitness progression through normal gameplay.
View on Steam Workshop →Working Strength
Strength XP from demanding physical labor such as tree felling, blacksmithing, moving heavy objects, construction, demolition, and corpse handling.
View on Steam Workshop →Calloused Hands
A hidden conditioning system where repeated manual labor gradually makes a survivor more efficient at the kinds of work they routinely perform.
View on Steam Workshop →Pack Smart
Explores the idea that where weight is carried should matter: properly packed equipment is more efficient than poorly distributed inventory.
Knox Reclaimed
A larger long-term project focused on defining territories, tracking control, and giving survivors a progression path from simply surviving Knox Country to reclaiming it.
Big Ambitions
Business • economy • simulation • traffic systemsRealistic Bank Loan Interest
Researching a more realistic loan and interest system for Big Ambitions, with the goal of making borrowing costs, repayment, and financial planning feel more grounded and consequential.
Realistic Traffic Signals
Exploring whether the game exposes enough information to identify intersections, traffic lights, and their current states so signal behavior can be made more realistic and better coordinated with traffic flow.
How I Work
Small systems that can grow.
01
Start with a gameplay problem
Identify something the base game could make more meaningful, believable, or useful.
02
Build the smallest practical system
Keep the first version focused enough to test, balance, and maintain.
03
Iterate from player experience
Use testing and feedback to refine the system without losing the original design purpose.
