Ioni - Generalist Designer

Welcome to my portfolio!

My name is Ionatán Biniamin Maghidman, I go by Ioni. Originally from Brazil, São Paulo. I'm based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I graduated the bachelor of games design of RMIT University with high distinction.

Currently I work as a Motion Graphics Designer for Champion Data, a sports company that provides statistics and graphics for sports in Australia and abroad, including cricket, AFL, golf, netball, etc. I mainly use Unity and Unreal to deliver graphics, as well as Viz Artist.

I run a small indie studio called Quadrado Studios with 3 fellow graduates of RMIT. We are currently developing our first complete game, Garganta, for a future full release on Steam.

As a generalist, I am passionate about multiple areas of game development, predominantly producing, programming, 3D art, writing, music and sound design, though I always continue my pursuit to explore new areas.

Highlighted Projects

Garganta

A fast paced 3D precision Platformer influenced by Tsutomu Nihei's works. Embody Servo, an android racing to neutralize a device that will engulf the Universe in innumerable singularities. Encounter peculiar characters and unveil secret plots designed by an AI, maddened by horrors it was never meant to witness.

AFL scoreboards

Marvel and MCG's scoreboards' graphics for the AFL are developed by me using Unity. It is designed with live updates in mind, being driven by a separate software owned by the company I work for, Champion Data, which feeds Unity statistics and information as the game unfolds.

Lost in Trainstation

A puzzle game that sees the protagonist's struggle to find the right train to his meeting in a location whose language you do not understand, almost like a simulation of what it feels to be a tourist in a foreign country.

Liv Golf Pylon

A golf pylon made in Unity that demonstrates the scores as well as other statistics of the Liv Golf tournaments, used by the show hosts to comment on the current state of the game from their recording studio.

Procedural Island Generator

A tool I developed in Unity using C#. It is capable of creating an endless number of different landscapes using perlin noise. It is also capable of painting said landscape with a texture and also populating it with props depending on the resulting texture.

Instrument Visualizer

DISCOmfort

An audio visual experience which mimics my personal discomfort whenever I visit a night club.

Old Man Oratio

One of my first attempts ever at sculpting in 3D, which resulted in a caricature of an old man, whom I named Oratio.

Miss. Input

A game jam game I made in 2 days. A simplistic 2.5D platformer with a twist: every time you play the game, the buttons that control your character get shuffled! Resulting in quite the humorous gameplay.

Urban Dystopia

An RMIT project where I developed a narrative to use as a base to create concept art, to create a fictitious location of my choice. I ended up with a dystopian world where overpopulation forced people to live in crammed cubicles.
