Hello!

ABOUT ME:
I'm a Godot developer with a background in web design, UE4 and Unity, though Godot stuck with me the most because of its small size, accessibility and great prototyping capabilities. I've been developing with Godot for roughly 4–5 years now, and while I'm still learning, I've built up quite a bit of hands-on experience along the way.

Over the years, I've worked on and released a variety of different projects on Itch.io, with the occasional Steam release as well. You can find some of my work below.

I'm a relatively casual and easygoing person who likes to communicate clearly, get work done, and still have a laugh while doing it. I believe that good communication, banter and a positive working atmosphere can make a big difference, especially when working on creative projects.

WHAT AM I GOOD AT?
As I've grown as a developer and designer, I've learned where my strengths lie:

• Research and problem solving
• Clean and reasonably optimized code
• General game logic and gameplay systems
• Game design and prototyping
• Simple and effective UI design
• Graphics and framerate optimization
• Lighting and atmosphere
• Sound mixing/design
• Debugging and playtesting

I'm still learning and improving as I go, particularly with Godot 4 and its newer features, and I'm always open to learning something new while working on a project.

WHEN AM I AVAILABLE?
For now, I'm available part-time, as I'm currently a college student with personal projects of my own. I'm happy to discuss additional hours depending on the project and workload.

WHAT ARE MY RATES?
My usual rate is $10–20/hour, although I'm flexible depending on the project, workload and overall scope.

I'm also happy to take on smaller one-time jobs, fixes or odd jobs for a set price instead of an hourly rate. The price and scope can be discussed and agreed upon beforehand.

PAYMENT:
PayPal works well for me, although direct transfer is also an option.

CONTACT:
A DM via Discord will do! @d_zenith

Bravo, Aaron!

Incredibly charming art-style with a deep and honestly kind of sad story.

Yet another Tobi' banger. Well done!

Such a fantastic and charming little game. This has an incredible amount of potential-- would love to see this become it's own thing!

Fantastic atmosphere and a well designed maze that isn't confusing lol. Great job!
The developer mode was a nice touch too. <3

Thank you so much for playing! It was a very interesting watch, loved seeing you lock in on the second try. Well done!

Glad we were able to make the jumpscare effective!

Congrats on the release!!!

Very proud of our work.

Congrats on this!! The art, as always, is incredible.

Very creepy, loved this! You guys did great.

No.

Thank you Crow!

Thanks so much for playing and giving feedback! This means a lot to us, and we're working on a fix.

Thank you so much for playing!

This feedback is valuable, we're working on a fix. Many thanks for the heads up as well!

I like red things.

Thank you brother!

Couldn't have done it without you. <3

Wow, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this. I loved the premise and actually pieced the lore together myself!

Very fun experience, The pixel art was phenomenal and the endings were incredibly interesting and varied. Choices felt like they mattered.

Though I will say, for any future projects like this; maybe have a 'skip intro' button? Having to sit through the warning screen every playthrough felt like a slog after the first 4 endings.

Other than that, amazing job you two! Well done. <3

Silent Hill x Animal Crossing. That's all you need to know. Give it whirl!

Greetings!

Very sorry to hear that.
Where and when exactly did the game freeze upon startup?

As far as I'm aware, you seem to be the only unfortunate player with this specific issue.

Sorry for the trouble!

Thank you so much for playing!!

I got clapped.

Absolutely phenomenal game. Lots of atmosphere and a great sendoff with an incredible build up.

Please do yourself the pleasure of playing this short but sweet indie-horror delight!

Incredibly spooky little game!

The atmosphere was great from start to finish, the buildup with the end was phenomenal, and the sound design was amazing.

Great job on this! Happy I could help out with the menus and UI, it all came together nicely!

Amazing to see people still enjoying the game today and discovering things like that!

I myself was never able to outrun the beast, so kudos to you for pulling it off!

Have you tried running it in administrator mode?

If that doesn't help, maybe whitelisting the .exe file your antivirus software might help.

It doesn't seem to be a Vulkan related issue, since the game does launch for you...

Keep me posted!

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. Does this issue still occur?

Absolute banger game LMFAOOO.

On a real note though, it did what it had to. Be a shitpost game with funny dialog and is just for shits and giggles. It does so well.

It got me good, truly. I turned around and he was RIGHT ON MY ASS!

Some criticisms:

- I feel like Joe could've maybe been a bit slower?? I know that cutting sharp corners helps but that mf clapped my cheeks so hard so many times.

- Having the collectables pop up one after the other kind of hurts the gameplay a bit.

Other than that, like I said, solid game!

Greetings!

It seems that the MacOS port of the game is broken. I'll sadly have to remove it.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid you won't be able to play the game at all. As support for this game has been dropped. Thank you for understanding!

Best regards.

Not sure, but it could be. It's a model used made by another.

A very charming attempt at something grand from a small group of students. What has been achieved is nothing short of impressive. Great job!

Ahoy there.

I appreciate the feedback, thank you!
Looking back there are definitely certain aspects that could've used some work, but all in all- I'm happy with the end result.

As for collaborating, I'd be down to- but don't count on it. I've been quite busy as of late with personal projects, group projects and college lol.

You'd either have to manually install Vulkan on your drivers. Otherwise, if that's not possible, I'm afraid your drivers are outdated and cannot run Vulkan.

Yoo this video was heat. Love the editing style. Thank you for playing!

Entertaining watch, the reactions were priceless! Thank you for playing!

Hey there, the song used is public domain, which is stated at the start of the game. You shouldn't run into any trouble with that on YouTube. Thank you for playing though!

Happy to scare!

I hear you, I appreciate it my friend!

Great feedback, and a nice video. Thank you for playing!

Very interesting watch. Thank you for playing!

Yoo let's go brother. This was dope to watch. Thank you!
