About me

Hi! My name is Daniel and I'm a programmer and game developer.

I've always been intrigued by games ever since I was young. I used to design hundreds of games on paper, thoroughly planning levels, characters and gameplay. At about 13 years old I started to learn how to code in C# and fell in love with the art of programming. Ever since then, I've been making games and expanding my programming knowledge.

I also love making origami and playing board games in my spare time. I love going for hikes and spending time with my friends.

About

projects

My Projects

these are some of my favourite projects from over the years, some of them assignments from AIE, others personal projects.

Perennial

3D Platformer

Perennial was my computer graphics assignment at AIE. It uses a hybrid rendering system, using raymarching and rasterization.

Snakeo

Hyper-Casual, Arcade

Snakeo is a fun snake remake.
Tap to turn, collect points as you grow, and avoid your tail!

Trinal Engine

2D Game Engine

The Trinal engine is my complex game systems assignment. It is written in C++, using the SFML and ImGUI libraries. The Trinal engine uses a game object / component system similar to Unity or Unreal.

Intention

Survival, RPG

Intention is an exploration, boss-rush, survival game. Explore a world falling into chaos, survive the darkness and learn what it means to become omnipotent.

Quadrobat

Platformer

Quadrobat was my physics assignment at AIE. The game is built using the graphics library, raylib. All of the physics and game logic was written from scratch in C++.

Tilebane

Multiplayer Arcade

Tilebane is the first game I ever created. Originally just a simple remake of Arkanoid(brick breaker), it got remastered a couple years later into a much more unique game with way more polish, local multiplayer and a level editor.
