I have been playing computer games since the age of 6. I started my journey with Stronghold Crusader, Prince of Persia, Heroes 3. I started my path as a developer at school, I made a game on Unity based on video tutorials, then switched to Unreal Engine 4. We are still developing with a school friend, our team is named Nord Vader. We are currently making various assets for the Marketplace Unreal Engine, such as the Bow Shooting System, the Body Examination System, the card quest engine, and more. In addition, on Steam we have a page with the game Master Wulder, which is currently under development.

Most often, it is important for a game developer to have a wealth of experience and knowledge in games. There are many genres and platforms that I have played on, but there are some favorites among them. The leading platform is PC, on it Strategies, RPGs, Survival Simulations, Horror, Actions are most often in the lead for me.

Work experience
Technical Specialist ,Yarnhub Animation Studios Inc.
Company: YH Animation LLC is a fast-growing full-service animation studio founded in May 2019.
Bringing together creative and talented people, we create films about extraordinary people and the compelling stories in their lives, set against the backdrop of significant historical events.
Each video is produced from scratch - we find ideas, write scripts, create characters, objects, locations, do animation, voice the films and write music. By the way, you can hear the voice of CEO David behind the scenes of absolutely every one of our videos!

Master Wulder — This is a game about the Scandinavian archer god Vulder. Hunt, survive and be the best among the gods.
Everyone meets the dawn and dusk of his life. You will meet the dawn of the young god of the bow and hunt, Ull. The endless expanses of the forests of Idalir, filled with dangers and discoveries, will not let you get bored. Prove to the gods that you are worthy to bear the title of God. This game is a hunting simulator set in the Middle Ages. In addition, RPG mechanics are included, such as roleplaying as an archery god, with corresponding character development as a god. Managing your own settlement, building, traps and war for territory.
The game was created using our assets. And now a little story about our work on the project. Our team of 2 people decided to take part in the Indie Cup 2022 competition. We found out about it quite late, there was very little time to prepare. It took us about a week to develop most of the project. In this project, you can see the result of integrating our assets such as the Bow Shooting System and the Body Examination System. You can watch the video above (Vertical Slicing First Video) to see the results of our work, as well as the steam page.
