Hello! I am a game developer and I really enjoy Programming and Designing Games.
I always imagined words and how fun they could be, so I became a programmer to be able to give life to them. I create games, prototypes, and tools that can help my team.

🛠️ TOOLS
I create tools to help, not only me, but my team. That's why I study the different areas needed to create games so that I can understand the needs of my team. If I'm not a good animator, at least I can develop tools to help them.

Useful in every single project, a time saver of searching for the scenes in the project folder.

A simple text editor that can be opened by selecting scripts with right-click, allowing to edit the text fastly, perform undo and redo, restore the last state, save and compile.
️📝ABOUT ME
👤AS A DEVELOPER
I am passionate about games, and I became a programmer to give life to my ideas.
But I'm not just restricted to programming and game design. I study the different areas of game development because I believe it is important to know how to communicate with each part of the project, so is possible to easily understand the needs of the team and how I can help. And on my solo projects, I am able to execute myself.
I learn with articles, books, talks, GDCs, tutorials, etc., trying to understand how things work, replicating if possible, and exploring new ways of creating. Despite Unity's being the main tool I use to create, it's just a tool, I learn how to do games, so any software will fit.
Documenting is something I like to do, and I know how useful it is to keep as a reference. I try to present ideas in an easy-to-understand way (nobody likes to read a 200-page GDD, but of course doing it is important). I prefer to create short documents with example videos or gifs, or one-page designs.
👤AS A PERSON
My name is Igor Lamounier Santos Varella. I'm a game developer from Brazil. I love gaming and working with games.
I was born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and I'm 24 years old.
Games have always been in my life and always entertained me. From an early age, I had the desire to create my worlds, for myself and for others to have fun in them. So, during school, I started learning about programming and game development. After I graduated from school, I decided to go to PUC Minas and study at the Digital Games course. There, I discovered, more than before, the passion I have for the games industry and how I want to be part of it.
I graduated as a Digital Games Technologist at PUC Minas Praça da Liberdade, awarded with an Academic Medal of Outstanding Performance as a student, achieving an average score of 95.92 out of 100.
