I'm a 2D indie game developer, pixel artist, and animator with a passion for creating charming and memorable experiences from the ground up. Here's What I Can Do: 🎮 *Game Development* - Godot, GameMaker, custom systems, game mechanics, UI. 🎨 *Pixel Art & Animation* - Character sprites, tile-sets, VFX, concept art/illustration. 🎵 *Music & Sound Design* - Retro sounds, adaptive soundtracks, trailer music, battle themes, etc. I've built entire games solo, handling everything from crafting the sounds you hear, drawing all of the art you see, all the way down to the programming and logic of the game itself. My workflow emphasizes modularity, intuitiveness and creative autonomy so that the things I create are simultaneously clean and easy to work with, but still chock-full of personality and character. If you're looking for someone to work on your project with precision and creativity, let’s talk. I’d love to collaborate and bring your vision to life! Check out my portfolio below. I look forward to hearing from you :] -Kyle
