Bio
Alan Miranda
Valentine is a great asset to the Ossian team. In working on the GUI and visual effects for The Shadow Sun, he has proven himself to be a creative and hard-working artist. His talents also extend to the technical side of art, with being able to write shaders and a certain level of understanding of how graphical engines work. He does a good job in following directions for tasks I’ve given him, but also shares his opinion on alternate approaches, which I’ve always welcomed. And it’s obvious that he as a passion for creating games!
