Hi, I'm Shadoo!
I'm a Game Design Student currently honing my skills in programming, designing, music production, and project management.
Hmu if you're interested in having me on your game design team! I'm interested in any and all small projects or unusual ideas/collaborations.

@ashleysusko So sorry I didn’t see this until now! Me and the two artists I worked with had a lot of fun. I worked on the audio and was pleased that it ended up in the top 50% for audio specifically. Me and UrPocketCat would compete for the highest score during development.

Count Doün is now playable on https://t.co/wYycgsQ2oc! This was made with the artists UrPocketCat and IMWOT Productions for the GMTK Game Jam.

Hopefully within the next few months I will have more projects ready to show you all what I can do! I currently have a few Unity projects underway, but I prefer to keep things lowkey before I feel ready. Until then, hope everyone who reads this has a great day!

I also enjoy fighting games! I currently have wins in Smash Ultimate over several players who are top 100 in my state and I'm #1 on the Smash Melee Power Rankings at my college (Captain Falcon and Jigglypuff main).

@Hideki_Naganuma Unrelated but what’s the consensus on video games as art in Japan? Do most people not think video games are art? In America my understanding is there’s still a lot of debate, but they’re protected speech here. Just curious what it’s like in Japan.

@Da_Blue_Yoshi @ArloStuff I do agree with you tho. I’m not really interested in seeing Zelda or any other series on the big screen. I’d also hate to see metal gear, since that kinda defeats the purpose. Especially since I don’t like the Mario movie so far anyway. Maybe that’s a bigger hot take lol

[Shadoo @ShadooPhoenix17]

@Da_Blue_Yoshi @ArloStuff It’s gotten to the point where games touted as being artistic are in fact derivative and safe, and only validates the idea that games have to live up to some other established art form instead of doing what they do best as games

[Shadoo @ShadooPhoenix17]

@ArloStuff Things that only games can do. Because of this, many big budget RPGs like Mass Effect end up feeling really insignificant despite their size. Also, the industry almost immediately jumped at the chance to turn into another Hollywood machine, crippling artistic nuance and focus.

[Shadoo @ShadooPhoenix17]

@ArloStuff Japanese and Indie devs have made much better games than western AAA devs over the years because of their focus. AAA studios focus too much on making RPGs and story-based/escapism games while Japanese and Indie devs are more interested in taking advantage of the unique(continued)
