Technical Designer

Hello! My name is Sergio. I’m a passionate game designer with a technical background. I’ve been making games for 6 years, and I have been a professional game developer for the last 3. Here you can find some of the cool things I’ve done!

During my game design journey, I’ve focused on action and real-time mechanics, combat design, moment-to-moment interaction and game feel. As a gameplay programmer, I mastered Unity and C# but I’ve also worked with Unreal, JavaScript, HTML or C; and I’ve developed projects for mobile, AR, VR, web and PC.

I am a great team player with good communication skills, always eager to learn and face new challenges.

Game Designer Gameplay Programmer

https://youtu.be/UAoElLIHjG4

Guns ‘N’ Ghosts is a top-down arena shooter that makes you constantly move, dodge enemies and adapt to new weapons.

What I did:

Design the game’s pillars, gameplay loops and mechanics
Write detailed design documentation about mechanics, systems, enemies, weapons and levels: their descriptions, their relation to other game elements and how they define the experience for the player.
Design and implement responsive controls and camera, with close attention to game feel.
Implementation of a scalable system that allows to easily add and create new types of weapons that can play extremely different from one another.

Game Designer Gameplay Programmer

Speed Rogue is a fast-paced driving platformer where you explore a small city jumping from place to place and fighting enemies at super high speeds.

What I did:

Design and implementation of the 3C: Character, Camera and Controls.
Design a combat system that mixes a shooter and a driving game where you can’t stop moving.
Level design of platforming stages that leave spaces for combat, always taking into account that you move super fast so players need to understand the levels at a glance.
Design of an interconnected world that constantly connects to previous areas and checkpoints where each level is a small open area that you need to explore.

Siega Verde VR Experience

Gameplay Programmer Game Designer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrhdJ-AwBLo

Siega Verde is an archeological site in Castilla y Leon, Spain, for which we developed this VR experience that will guide you to start a bonfire, craft a tool and engrave some of the real figures that can be found on the site.

What I did:

I was the main gameplay programmer and part of the UX design team for the project.
Investigate and document how to realistically make fire using flint and iron and how to make tools out of silex.
Design and implement a fun mini-game for a children's audience without compromising the objective of teaching the real processes with which these things were made in the Paleolithic.
Create an immersive experience where you need to physically get on the ground, search for stuff around you and stretch your arms to reach different objects. The app will make you move your hands as if you were hitting rocks and painting the wall. At some point, we even ask you to blow on tinder to start the fire. It’s only a trick but it always blows everyone's mind, completely breaking the barrier between the virtual and real worlds.
Design and tune game feel using particles, animation, sound effects and haptic feedback to make the experience more engaging and immersive.

Other Projects

I maintain a database with all the projects I’ve been part of, here you can see some highlights.
