Nes García

I was the lead animator, concept artist and game designer of Indie Spain Jam 2022 #1 most popular game and #3 most popular card game on itch.io for 2 consecutive weeks. 

Co-created the core game concept, built around a reactive villain over just one week long development. I designed the antagonist in full, from concept to animation, defining his narrative, personality, progression, dialogue, and reactive behavior tied to player performance. The villain confirmed the game’s own identity by being the most acclaimed element by the public.

I integrated the villain’s 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 animated 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.

I joined a newly formed team where none of the members had previously worked together, and we successfully developed a complete game within a one-week timeframe. Despite the tight deadline, we delivered a polished product, and my efficient workflow allowed me to take on additional responsibilities, including editing the game trailer. The game remains relevant within the gaming community to this day.
