Galactic Freaks is a fast-paced arena shooter game currently in the WIP phase. Throughout its development, the project evolved through different visual styles. I was personally responsible for managing the art direction and implementation of the final two phases: the Cartoon and Realistic styles.

• Art Direction:

  • In this project, where I had the opportunity to work on two distinct themes (Cartoon and Realistic), my main goal was to combine assets from various sources, Marketplace, Kitbash sets, and custom models, into a single, cohesive look for each style.

  • To prevent the game from looking like a mismatched "asset flip," I worked extensively on lighting balance, custom material adjustments, and post-process effects. This ensured that every asset, regardless of its source, blended perfectly into the game's world.

    
    

• Level Design:

  • Drawing inspiration from classic fast-paced multiplayer games like Quake and Unreal Tournament, I designed levels that focus on speed, verticality, and smooth combat flow.
    
    

• Technical & Core Responsibilities:

  • Beyond the visual aspects, I managed Game Design and character power balancing to ensure fair gameplay.

  • I also handled UI/UX development and the full technical integration of MetaHuman characters into the playable pipeline.
