Esteban Samudio
Game Designer
A roguelite action adventure game with a dieselpunk aesthetic where you're a lone human fending off a hoard of robots in a corporate factory. Developed in Unreal Engine 5 with a team of thirteen. Available on Steam.
Texturing Models
Using the Substance Painter software, I textured over twenty major models seen in Turmoil. These include the main character, enemy robots, and various machinery. I even created my own textures using Photoshop. I always made sure to adhere to the art style guide as well as display wear and tear to the objects so that they fit the overall environment and maximize immersion to the player.
UI Asset Creations
During development, I used Photoshop to create six 2D UI assets for turmoil. These include the controller buttons, the dialogue box, and a graphic showcasing the game's controls. Like the model textures, I made sure to adhere to the ASG when creating these assets. I adopted various Photoshop techniques such as beveling, overlays, filters, etc. I used these to my advantage, then continuously revised my work until I created an asset that would fit perfectly in Turmoil.
Designer - Kitty Casino (December 2023)
A smartphone casino game where you play as a cat roaming around a hubworld to play casino games, win money, and use that money to customize the player cat. Developed in Unity with a team of six.
UI Asset Creations
For Kitty Casino, I designed various UI menu wireframes, level layouts, and created a few 3D models which were all put to use for the final game. Since this was casual mobile game, I made sure to prioritize accessability while at the same time not making it overly simplistic. This made me go outside my comfort zone and design for a genre that I previously had limited knowledge of. I learned to design in ways I hadn't before, and it was a valuable experience.
Miscellaneous Level Design
These are rooms that I designed and populated with the free Edith Finch models in Unreal Engine 5. Lighting done by myself.
