Game Designer | UI/UX Designer | QA tester
I am a eclectic game designer with 3+ years in game development with focus in system, gameplay and UI/UX.
I have also published a game on Steam, called "Steamrush", with over 110K downloads. Thanks to my past working experience I had the chance to gained different skills, such as: Level Design, QA Testing, 2D animation and VFX particles.
I putting myself out there to always learn new topics and improve as a designer.
Analysis and documents
To improve as a Game Designer, I often play different games and consequently find myself analyzing certain mechanics or dynamics that I find in my gameplays.
These analyses, allowed me to learn in detail some aspects of the games and thus apply them in my designs

Forgiveness Mechanics and Juiciness
An in-depth analysis of what forgiveness mechanics allow players to continue their gameplay despite making mistakes.
As designers, we need to protect players from themselves.
Identified most of the Juiciness in the game, with their descriptions.
These effects are greatly appreciated by players, increasing the perceived quality.
Nudges and Manipulation - ANALYSIS
Within video games, designers insert “manipulation” mechanics to steer players toward a specific gameplay direction.
