Previous Projects

Real Madrid CF Football Blast

Stage Clear Studios Game Programmer

First I received the task of take a game made by other company that client didn't like it and create a prototype of the requested game reusing as much as possible from the previous game.
After succeding in the first task, I was assigned to the development of the new game. Because of being the programmer of the preproduction phase, I ended up leading a team of 3 other programmers.
We successfully completed the development of the game for IOS and Android. Using functionalities from Playfab and Google Analytics.
Sadly the game didn't get the success expected and it was cancelled.

Implemented the units movement and the usables for them (places where a unit can occupy a slot to perform actions)

Set up the UI canvases that allowed the designers to work with it
The game was time based, so I created a tool for the designers to set the events and their probabilities depending on the time
