Game Programming Content

I present my experience and struggles in game and engine programming.

  • Engine programming stuff – based on a simple custom game engine I coworked on. Resource management, UI framework, custom tools, and much more.
  • C++ – things that I learned and that fascinate me.
  • Unreal Engine articles – gameplay, animation and UI programming. Blueprints & C++.
  • Virtual reality – a glimpse on what I worked on and thoughts on VR in general.

Production & Creative Directing

I share insights on game production and directing small gamedev projects, based on leading a few little games awarded locally and in Europe. I am also a gamedev student club leader at Lodz University of Technology, Poland.

  • Production postmortems – what worked out and what went wrong in our games.
  • My design approach – my experience with designing seamless game tutorials or other game elements.
  • Student gamedev community – How “Digital Night Studio” gamedev club works and how we help students hop into the game industry.
