Game developer
& founder
Connecting how we experience games with how we create them.
I’m Krishna Soni. I write about games, research what play can teach us, and build tools for players and creators at Kri Zek.
01 / About
A considered approach to technology: make it useful, make it clear, and make it last.
My work began with a question: what can games teach us about ourselves? The Power of Gaming, my research, and tGiX grew from that curiosity. Today, I’m taking it in both directions: helping players reflect on their experience and building tools for the people creating the next one.
More about the approach02 / Selected Research
Peer-reviewed proof that game structure changes cognition, not just engagement.
Turns raw play into a measurable, defensible index of how a person thinks.
Argues that gameplay under stress is the ground-truth training data general intelligence is missing.

For creators / In development
With Helios IDE and Majestic Engine, I’m bringing my game-development experience into tools for building games. The direction is AI-assisted creation with the developer still in control.
