Indie・Narrative-driven・Education・Puzzles・Point & Click・PC

I was challenged to create an educational game about Córdoba’s culturally significant patios that would appeal to public institutions and a client with no previous experience in video games, while remaining fun, accessible and faithful to local traditions.

Within one week, I delivered a pitch that included a teaser video and documentation, defining the core game concept, overall design direction, and a commercially viable plan. The proposal secured client approval and greenlit full demo development. I assembled the team and led communication between departments and the client.

For me as a designer, listening to the people being represented is essential. That is why I advocated for deep field research, visiting Córdoba’s residents, and asking them firsthand about their lived experience.

                                            

WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY

Based on this research, I developed the game’s worldbuilding and narrative to reflect the locals’ way of life and real struggles, designing characters and gameplay challenges based on their authentic stories.

I designed mini-games based on real traditional methods used by the locals and developed culturally rich mechanics that resembled their customs.

Throughout the development, I worked closely with an archaeologist to integrate historical research into dialogue, ensuring an engaging player experience grounded in accurate historical facts.

I developed a strong player-centric design in which educational content was embedded within rewards. Completing objective lists that satisfied the player’s sense of progress, making knowledge feel earned rather than imposed.

I also produced detailed design documentation and sketches, outlining pacing, emotional flow and iteration workflow.

We had a playable demo within a month and successfully pitched the project publicly to investors and institutions, finally delivering a game that resonated with the local community and engaged players in Córdoba’s heritage preservation.

Indie Spain Jam 2023 Honorable Mention.
‘Very well executed gameplay and narrative. It’s incredible that such a complete, well-rounded game was made in just a week’- Comments by the jury.

Working closely with the lead game designer, I created narrative scenarios and decision points within the game’s branching route structure. I developed character backstories and key narrative twists that placed players under moral and strategic pressure, iterating on how player decisions affected combat difficulty, resources, and survival outcomes.

I iterated extensively on combat difficulty balance to ensure encounters supported narrative pacing rather than overshadowing it, and refined the combat UI to be clear and intuitive. My goal was to align emotional investment, strategic decision-making, and usability into a cohesive experience where every choice felt meaningful.

Indie Spain Jam 2022 #1 most popular game and #3 most popular card game on itch.io for 2 weeks.

Co-created the core concept game concept, built around a reactive villain. I designed the antagonist in full, defining his narrative, personality, progression, dialogue, and reactive behavior tied to player performance.

I integrated the villain’s narrative presence directly into the card gameplay, designing and iterating on subtle shifts between genuine hints and intentional deception gestures to maintain tension and player mistrust. I also designed branching dialogues and multiple ending sequences based on player success or failure.

In addition, I created the game’s UI and UX mockups, defining the player’s point of view, layout, and information hierarchy to ensure clarity, strong character presence, and a cohesive player experience.

SUPPORTING

Over the years I have actively taken part in indie game events, meeting many teams and trying out a wide variety of projects.

By offering kind and constructive feedback to so many projects I have developed my ability to evaluate narrative flows, player experience and overall gameplay. Listening to the team, and helping projects progress has led me to be invited back to try out updated builds - like Impawlse, for which I’m grateful to be featured in the credits.

So far, I have participated in more than 20 online and in-person Game Jams, mostly with teammates I have never met. Making games in such a short time has taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate clearly, find creative solutions and most of all, how to make sure everyone is having fun.

I think this is the true essence of game development: helping and supporting each other. My knowledge and eagerness to learn about other people’s experiences are essential for me as a Game Designer, as a professional and as a person.
