GAME DEVELOPER
ABOUT
My name is Welliton Souza. I'm a passionate game developer,
working professionaly with games for the last 3 years, mainly focusing on
Technical Art
,
UI/UX
and
programming
skills. I have develop many projects for game jams, wich provided me with the enchancement of my professional skills as well as learning more and more about
Game Design
and
2D Art
. The projects have given me the opportunity to better understand the importance of intercommunication between all areas of game development.I truly believe
that video games are the most impactful media to tell a story
in which people can grow and experience moments from different
perspectives. That's why I'm looking forward to making games that can talk to,
entertain and make the difference in people's life.
Cobra Kai 2: Dojo's Rising
I worked as a Technical Artist and later as a UI
Technical Lead. There were numerous challenges around the
implementations of the UI and game specific features, mainly:
- Organize the hierarchy of all UI elements in the best optimized way to avoid a high processing cost and unnecessary draw calls;
- Implementing all animations designed by the UI team, from tween script based animations to standard clips;
- Implement tween and UI Offscreen indicators systems to easely implement them,
- Creating Unity Tools to validate animations and to improve project organization.

Stand & Fight
Stand and Fight project won the QuickPlay 2022 jam, hosted by
Latinx in Gaming. As part of the prize, a full version version of the game was developed in only 6 months.

- Development of UI VFX and Shaders;
- UI systems that communicated with the gameplay components;
- Definition of a UI styleguide fitting the theme apropriated;
- Development and implementation of a scene management, localization, save/load, dialogue and score systems;
