Frozen Steel – 2D Platformer Arena Game
Gameplay Programmer & Sound Implementation
Brief Summary:
Frozen Steel is a fast-paced single–player 2D platformer arena, PC game that takes place during a fictional earth’s ice age inhabited by an advanced society of penguins. The planet is being invaded by M.A.S, mutant alien seals that consumed all their resources from their home planet Mabaku and now are attempting to raid earth. During the chaos, a thought-to-be failed experiment codename M.A.R.C (Mechanically Advanced Retro Cyborg) , the penguin, rises and must bash the enemies back to their ships to destroy the invading fleet.
In this project my main tasks were around the implementation of the main character’s movement and attacks, as well as the boss movement and abilities and some gameplay components such as jump pads and frozen areas for the character to slide. As a secondary role I was in charge to implement the sound for the whole game.

Farm Sim – Unreal Engine Project
Solo project
Brief Summary:
This project consisted on creating a Farm simulator using only Unreal Engine Blueprints. The goal is recolecting vegetables and preventing pests to get near them by using traps. First video is shown a Freeze trap which slows pests after entering the blue area and if they stay 3 seconds or more inside the freezing area they will freeze for 10 seconds. The second video displays a Heatdome trap in which if the pest stays for 3 seconds or more, the pest will be removed as if it was burnt.
