About Me

Welcome everyone! My name is Gonçalo Oliveira, also known as Godzallo. I'm a 26 years old student currently taking a masters degree in Engineering For Video Game Development at IPCA and graduated in Video Game Design at IPB in 2022. Here you will be able to see most of my Personal and University Projects developed during my Game Dev Journey!

Being a Gamer since my childhood, I developed a passion for Video Game Development since I was 12 years old and always wanted to make my wild ideas come to life as Video Games such as the ones I used to play all day. Along the way, I learned how to program and use different tools and Game Engines to help me develop the games I love. I especialize in Game Engines, Modeling, Level Design, Programming and Procedural Content Generation. Creating fantastic worlds and amazing experiences is always my main goal with my projects focusing on the fun experiences the games that I develop can provide to others the same way that the games I used to play provided to me.

So join me in this journey and help me create new ideas and make them come to life!
