    I’m a Playful Learning Architect: the combination of an Educational Game Designer and a UX Architect. I create game-based learning experiences for users to help them grow in their life. My clients like to work with me because I ask seemingly unrelated questions that they haven’t thought through yet, and streamline the current stage of work into a direction that really addresses their target audience’s needs & wants. Originally, I worked as a Data Architect for 8+ years and I changed my career path 5+ years ago when I realized I’m more interested in human behavior. What makes one game or product more engaging for some people and what do the underperforming or boring products lack? I love going deep to really understand what needs to be done instead of trying to find a quick fix to a problem that we shouldn’t even solve. ☎ Do you need a creative and structured mind in your upcoming project? Let's have a chat and start upworking together!

    Aloha! I am an art director, illustrator and designer, specializing in making awesome stuff for kids. Creating fun and engaging apps, games, books, and magazines has been my focus for over ten years and I absolutely love doing it. My goal is to give kids respect by making products that are meaningful, high quality, inspiring, and a little weird. I love both sides of a creative project: creating expressive and imaginative art and the technical nuts-and-bolts of making it work. I have worked in print and digital in teams small and large, I've seen it all and relish every problem that needs a creative solution. I'm looking for projects that need a creative and technical problem solver, that aim to make something fun and positive, and are maybe a little weird. Let's make something fun together!

    Aspiring Game Developer & Designer, experienced in Godot and a little in Unity. 3 years of experience in multiple genres. Skills include : -Game/Level design -Game mechanics analysis -Developing small/medium scale projects (Godot) -Helping development in small/medium scale projects (Unity) -Sound design (Music/SFX) -Visual design (vibe/aesthetics/theme) Software I'm using on a daily basis : -Godot -Reaper -Github -Jira Software I'm familiar with : -Unreal -Unity Other skills (not so relevant) : -Drums -Saxophone -Very, very very long designed campaigns for DnD 5e -Music nerd More into detail? Alright, I try to design games with very clear pictures in my head. I imagine myself booting up the game as a person that knows nothing, and I try to use the "info" gathered while playing to answer questions about the game's design. Is this mechanic properly explained? If not, is it on purpose? If it's on purpose, is it to create mystery or to bundle that mechanic up with something else down the road? Is this balanced? Does it matter if it's balanced? Do we want the players to have more freedom to explore mechanics/stat combinations and break the game, or do we want a more closed path? If we want freedom, do we feel ok with players disregarding entire mechanics, or do we want them to experience them? A lot of questions need to be answered before making up a GDD, which include the emotions we want to invoke on a player, the purpose of the game, and how we're going to achieve that. Want to achieve mystery? A dark atmosphere isn't enough. A non-existent tutorial neither. How are we going to make the player question stuff around them? Are mechanics going to be changing? Should X thing that worked in Y way change mid-game to confuse the player? If yes, how will we make the player understand that this isn't a "bug" or a misstep in our own part, but a design? Are we going to connect Y way to Y+1 way? How? There are lots and lots of interesting things you can do in a game, and having broad pictures and scenarios on your head about a game's direction is a good place to start, but a lot of stuff needs to be said & written before we start working on it. I try to avoid development hell, and the number one cause (so far) is a not clear enough path or purpose for the game. Some mechanics/ideas/anything will come down the road during development, some will be discarded because they weren't fun or just didn't stick, and of course a lot of things will change. But the pillars of the game need to be intact, otherwise the game is risking re-purposing it's entire self because we didn't built strong enough foundations.

    I'm a professional games developer with unreal engine. Mainly, I use blueprint for developing since it's the easiest and most time efficient way to create games, but also using c++ for stuff that should be performance optimized in games. Over the past two quarters I have been teaching and educating some developers in my city how to professionally develop games with unreal engine environment. I have gained the trust of my teammates and CEO to be in charge of developing Ridiculous Plan only by myself in a dead line of 6 months in such large scale I developed Rid-Plan full game from scratch by myself, in such scale that's nearly equal to Fortnite scale which was created by Epic games in a studio that has hundreds of developers and programmers. I designed Rid-Plan Code to be modular and optimized, though I had so little time for the dead line, I could by the help of god first then the experience that I have gained over the past year to finish Rid_Plan development. A full functional multiplayer battle royale game working on a big scale and being hosted by amazone gamelift service. I'm a very cooperative person who manages to work well in a team based environment. Also when it comes to solo tasks I'm a beast in such matter. I'm capable of writing a well optimized, modular and clean code, also well commented one that can be read and easily understood by others. I also have the technical skills and experience that qualifies me to be a director of a game code design process with Unreal Engine. Thus, I have Confidence in myself that i can develop any PC game whether it's multiplayer or single-player game, whatever it's concept is.
