Games

There are many online gamedev competitions/jams. You must create a game from scratch before the given deadline. That's a great way to learn and improve your skills. Some of my creations in jams are presented bellow.

BENEATH the RUST(december 2020)

Remake in Rust of BENEATH the SURFACE; the game I made for the 29th edition of Ludum Dare.

404ms(september 2020)

Can't be described without spoiling it! Discover what to do in this game made for the js13k game jam in 2020!

The More The Merrier!(december 2017)

Throw the perfect party by moving your friends from one area to the next! Made in Unity in 48 hours for the Ludum Dare 40.

My Other Half(february 2017)

Mini interactive experience about the search for the one that completes your soul. Made in 6 hours using Unity from a silly idea I had.

Clockwork Heroes(august 2015)

This toy, not so much a game, was developed in C++ during more than a year of my spare time with massive help from José Manuel Cámara Iglesias. It's a sandbox dungeon were you can place your heroes, which are Lua-based AIs. With a basic public interface you can program your heroes to scout, walk, open doors, attack, etc.

Lo Nuestro Es La PAZ(february 2015)

This game was designed and implemented during 45 days at the beginning of 2015 in collaboration with Maru Fuentes Pérez. It narrates our lives from our hometowns to 2015. We used this game to tell our friends that we were getting married :)

BENEATH the SURFACE(april 2014)

This game was designed and implemented during the 48 hours of the compo of the 29th edition of Ludum Dare. You are FASCINATED by complex systems. But this one is special. Is more complex and more... attractive? Keep breaking through to discover the truth; not about "the system", but about yourself

You Only Get One COLOUR!(december 2013)

This game was designed and implemented during the 48 hours of the compo of the 28th edition of Ludum Dare. You are a teenager that was born with a visual impairment that prevents you seeing more that one colour at a time. Discover what activities you wont be doing because of the disability.

To Kill a Mocking Witch(december 2012)

This game was designed and implemented during the 72 hours of the jam of the 25th edition of Ludum Dare. It is an Action RPG in which you figth the evil witch that attacks your town. It has been made in collaboration with Josema and David Cámara Iglesias.

Pixel Vampire(january 2012)

Project developed during the Global Game Jam 2012 in Madrid. It has been made in collaboration with David Fernández Huerta and Manuel Rosado García. It is not finished for obvious reasons, but it was extra challenging since I had never used Flash before this Jam.

Leave Me Alone!(december 2011)

My first complete game! It has ben made during the 48 hours of the 22nd edition of Ludum Dare. I could improve it (had extensive comments and suggestions), but I don't want to lose the purity of unpolished work (meh, just an excuse.)

Learning

The best way to learn game developing is practicing cloning classic games. The following games have allowed me learning new technologies and improving my gamedev skills.

(Simple+Fast)Tetris(march 2013)

Tetris clone programmed in C++ using SFML. Besides the row elimination from classical tetris, there is also three-in-line elimination.

LightPunk(february 2013)

Light's Out clone for Flash. It's the second test with AS3 and FlashPunk. A bit more serious than the first test.

Pung(february 2013)

Pong clone for Flash. First test with AS3 using FlashDevelop and the FlashPunk engine. Just a simple first contact with the Flash SDK workflow.

Prototype 00(december 2011)

First 'serious' platformer with complex animations (well, at least more complex than in previous games.)

Piperine(september 2011)

Arkanoid clone. I don't consider it complete because I would have loved to add more levels, design power-ups, and some enemies.
