DEATHPIT 3000

An independent Steam release - I was one of only two developers

Overview

As one of only two developers on this cross-platform, online multiplayer game, I was responsible for creating every visual element, ensuring a polished and immersive player experience. DEATHPIT 3000 was fully released on Steam and received recognition, including the Game Development World Championship’s Fan Favorite award.

This project provided a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across all stages of game development, from initial concept and prototyping to final release and post-launch updates. Working on such a comprehensive project allowed me to deepen my skills in art, design, technical workflows, and project management, giving me a well-rounded understanding of what it takes to bring a game to life.
