About Andy Korth

I’m a software engineer with deep roots in game development and cross-platform technology. I co-founded Howling Moon Software in 2007 and have specialized in games, iOS apps, Unity3D, and VR​ . Over the years I’ve authored or contributed to several dozen games – seen on devices from the original iPhone and iPads to Android tablets, Mac/Windows, 3DS, XBox 360, Switch, and PS4, and even the ol’ Unity3D web player.

I’m comfortable with a wide range of tech (C#, Objective-C, OpenGL, Metal, Unity3D, etc.) and deeply enjoy the variety of work that gamedev provides.

At Howling Moon, we tackled projects from musical instrument tutoring apps to 3D platformers, serving clients big and small – including Disney, Warner Bros., Silicon Valley startups and indie developers worldwide​. Co-founder Scott Lembcke build Chipmunk2D physics library to give games fast, cross-platform 2D physics​. I helped maintain and advance the Cocos2D engine with multi-threaded rendering and physics support​. Through all this, I’ve learned to bridge creative game ideas with solid engineering, making fun experiences run smoothly on any platform.

I’m an active player in Prosperous Universe, where I run OOG Capital Management . I also use Hugo for that page.

At FireflyVR

Today I’m the Lead Software Engineer at FireflyVR (since 2019)​, an immersive tech startup applying VR to health care. FireflyVR’s mission is to “harness the power of immersive technology to radically improve treatment and care” for behavioral health​. In practice, I help build The Sanctuary, our VR therapy platform. I focus on the Unity3D-based architecture, machine learning, and biosignal analysis that power these VR experiences​.

Working at FireflyVR lets me blend my game-engine expertise with science-backed health content – creating VR programs that are as creative as they are effective. It’s been truly gratifying to see something I helped create make a difference in the lives of our users, like first responders and veterans.

About my webpage

I built this page in Hugo- initially starting with the Kayal theme, but rewriting it to use Tailwind 4 (which had just come out weeks before I started my blog rewrite) and Catppuccin for color schemes. Despite understanding all the math behind color theory, I’m still pretty bad at picking colors.
