Jeff is our level designer and secondary programmer behind Ramon. He designs all the levels currently in the game and works on both enemies and level hazards. Currently he's working on adding controller support!

A complete view of one room in Unholy Roller, including the enemy pins and saw blade hazards within it, as seen in the Godot editor. The hitboxes for enemies and hazards, as well as navigation regions for the room, are visualized as overlaid shapes.

Next up is Joshua, our lead artist and visual designer! He draws (almost) all of the game's custom art and guides its look and feel.

#MeetTheTeam behind Unholy Roller!

First up is Ramon, our project lead and lead developer! He spends most of his time programming features and systems for the game, but he also helps create art for the project.
