For almost 5 years I have been on a journey to recreate game mechanics as a way to learn game development and share knowledge!

Always! 🫡

This was made for a bootcamp from the folks at GDS, here is the link for more info on it:

Consistently Make Gameplay Feel More Satisfying and Visceral

You’ll learn how to design for specific audiences, balance with intention, and refine the gameplay to make it memorable.

Recently had the opportunity to build 3 demos to demonstrate the power of game feel!

Had the honor of speaking at @nordicgamejam.bsky.social this year! Was pretty nervous but it still was so much fun!

Nice!! Great job

Hey hey! It’s been a long time since I looked into the project. But beyond marking it as Paintable, I believe there is also a material that needs to be applied to the surface! Let me know if that works

For Mario Kart World, do you think we will be able to customize a non-stop race across the entire game world?

André Cardoso @andremc.bsky.social · Feb 12

André Cardoso @andremc.bsky.social · Feb 11

Aw Ashley, that's so kind of you, really! Thank you!

André Cardoso @andremc.bsky.social · Feb 11

Thanks Andy!

I will always have fond memories of what we built together at Unity! I remember being so hyped to join Unity and get to meet people like you and Ciro!

Really appreciate the words <3

André Cardoso @andremc.bsky.social · Feb 11

Thank you so much man, means the world to me getting recommended like this ♥️

André Cardoso @andremc.bsky.social · Feb 11

Unfortunately I have been affected by the latest Unity layoff.

While I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly, I’m still incredibly grateful for nearly six years there!

I’m open to new opportunities - so I'm more than happy to connect with anyone wanting to make great games!

Here's the full video where I breakdown all the steps I took for this recreation - the project itself is also free to download!

It’s a blend between animations from Mixamo (humanoid animation library) and manual adjustments on keyframes on my side!
