Major Projects
01
Steam
Working on Aphotic Descent was a deep dive not just into the mysterious ocean depths but also into the extents of my own capabilities as a creator. This project is very close to my heart, a canvas where I've poured my deepest passions and the cauldron in which I witnessed my skills evolve in real-time. As a narrative lead, I wove stories that are as deep and intricate as the ocean itself. My role in audio production allowed me to orchestrate an underwater soundscape that's both eerie and beautiful and set the tone as its narrator/voice director. My work concerning level design for the infamous research base CARCINOS came together flawlessly. Every mechanic designed and enemy conceptualized was a step towards mastering my craft. Aphotic Descent is not just a game; it's a testament to my dedication to growth and creativity in game development.
02
VR Experience
Experience Amazônia: A Virtual Journey, a limited-time VR escapade featured at The Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Developed with the 'MAGIC' Program at Miami Dade College, this immersive experience I contributed to illuminates the Amazon's splendor with authentic lighting and VFX, inviting visitors to a vivid exploration of nature's marvels.
03
Bitsy Project
"The Cost of Creativity" is a passion project and a personal exploration, created within the confines of a simple Bitsy game engine. It allowed me to experiment with pixel art and interactive storytelling, telling a subtle yet significant story through player choices. More than just a creative endeavor, this game delves into a personal fear of mine - the fear of becoming consumed by creative pursuits. I encourage you to check it out as it holds personal significance, serving as a reminder of the vital balance between creative passion and the fabric of life itself.
