  I co-founded an independent game studio to create a prototype for a 3D rogue-like game in Unity targeting casual players in the US market (Approximately between 25,000 – 50, 000).

My responsibilities are to oversee the 3D art pipeline, import assets into Unity, and set them up for playtesting. • I established the general 3D art pipeline from concept to completion to produce the starting level of our prototype: the Abyss. Documented standard methods and procedures ensuring best practices. • Created all meshes, textures, materials and rigs for the player character, enemy mobs, props, and Abyss environment. • Built a visually dynamic environment using shader graphs and VFX particle systems to telegraph gameplay elements, convey the game’s underwater theme, and increase the project’s visual appeal.
