Arvonia · freelance game developer & programmer

I make games.They talk back.

I design and program responsive gameplay, dependable tools, and the invisible systems that make a game feel coherent from the first input to the final build.

Player-facing systems · Interface prototype

Persian Warrior

01 / Player-facing experience

The project

A complete journey from character discovery to finding a match.

A dark, Persian-inspired multiplayer interface that gives character selection, progression, party presence, and matchmaking one consistent visual language.

What I took care of

I took care of the player-facing flow: browsing the roster, communicating locked and unlocked states, filtering characters, surfacing currencies and online status, and carrying the selected fighter into the matchmaking screen.

Unity · C# gameplay prototype

Foodie JAM

02 / 15-second gameplay reel

The project

A small character with a complete movement stack.

A third-person Unity prototype built to test how a simple creature feels across open terrain, tighter architecture, elevation changes, and animation-driven movement.

What I took care of

I handled the gameplay foundation in C#: player look and movement, grounded checks, jump and flight logic, capsule and camera setup, animation playback, and the Animator state transitions connecting idle, run, sprint, jump, double-jump, fly, and fall.

C++ · Systems fundamentals

Console Tic-Tac-Toe

C++ Tic-Tac-Toe main game loop and function declarations

03 / Core C++ game loop

The project

A compact game loop with every outcome accounted for.

A player-versus-computer terminal game focused on clear state management: numbered input, a readable board, valid move selection, computer turns, and deterministic end conditions.

What I took care of

I wrote the complete C++ loop and separated it into focused functions for board drawing, player input, randomized computer moves, win evaluation, and tie detection, then tested win, loss, and draw states in the console.

Experience across the full gameplay loop

Built to survive beyond the prototype.

I can take a feature from prototype to production in Unreal Engine, Unity, or Godot—architecture, implementation, debugging, tooling, optimization, and a clean handoff your team can keep building on.

01 · UNREAL ENGINELarge-system thinking.

C++, Blueprints, gameplay abilities, AI, animation integration, profiling, and designer-safe tools.

02 · UNITYFast iteration, solid foundations.

C#, component architecture, editor extensions, URP workflows, input, build health, and performance passes.

03 · GODOTLean systems with room to grow.

GDScript or C#, signals, custom resources, gameplay frameworks, tool scripts, and rapid vertical slices.

Find the verb.

Before the roadmap, find the action that deserves another ten minutes of someone's time.

Make it legible.

Complex systems are welcome. Confusing feedback is not. The player should feel smart, not briefed.

Ship the honest version.

Keep the part with a pulse. Cut the part that only looks convincing in a task tracker.

Cross-engine experience

From first input to final frame.

I adapt to the engine without lowering the standard: readable systems, useful tools, stable builds, and player-first decisions.

Gameplay architecture

Combat, traversal, AI, interaction, inventories, and the state models that keep them understandable.

Creative tooling

Editor extensions and data workflows that let designers move without waiting for an engineer.

Feel & technical art

Camera, animation hooks, shaders, feedback, and the last 10% that makes an action feel intentional.

Performance & finish

Profiling, frame budgets, build discipline, and the unglamorous passes that turn prototypes into products.
