Daniel Iniesta González

Hi! My name is Daniel Iniesta González, a video game developer focused on the Quality Assurance side of the video game development. I have been using the Unity3D engine and C# to create video games since 2019.

I believe that having the maximum amount of points of view on video game development is key to growing in the field of Quality Assurance. That's why I keep learning both software development and design, while improving my reporting and communitation skills.

When developing software I use the SOLID principles and Design Patterns to build robust and efficient software, but always looking forward to knowing more about them. Furthermore, I like to learn game design to have broad insight into the development cycle.

Working in plural teams alongside people with diverse experiences and backgrounds moves me. It allow me to learn other points of view while sharing my own experiences and expertise. I am eager to improve day by day to become a better professional.

Let's make Video Games!

Play Orbitria's Tales

Orbitria's Tales - MoaMoai

A mixed game between a turn-based RPG and a rogue-lite.

I collaborate with a small team to create this title, working alongside colleagues with different roles (programmers, artists 2D and 3D, a musician, and a producer) to achieve it.

My duties are mainly technical, amongst others:

I managed to reduce by 40% the time needed to create and test abilities by refactoring the custom tool and using Scriptable objects.
Built a tool to generate a custom mesh at runtime to visualize the procedurally generated dungeon on a minimap.
Designing and implementing different game mechanics.
Gameplay programming.
Implement AI behaviors.

Play WoWTFT

WoWTFT - An autochess with the WoW pets

I think this is what some of Blizzard's fans expected when the auto-chess genre became so popular, so I created my approach.

I learned how to adapt code and tools based on the target platform.
Added unity tools like the animator, profiler, and shader graph to my toolkit.
Use of different mathematical algorithms to place game elements correctly.
I implemented different settings managers to make more handy the customization of parameters.
Built prefabs with the imported models and animations.

Play Kanji Practice

KanjiPractice - Practice Japanese Kanji

As a Japanese student, I thought that building this little app, both to test my current skills and learn Japanese was a great idea.

Worked with the UI system in unity. Learnt how to properly build responsive UI's. Especially for mobile devices.
Incremented my SOLID knowledge and implemented more robust software using different design patterns.
Learned about technologies like PDollar that helped me to implement the systems I needed.

A Fistful of Carrots - GGJ 2023

On this occasion, I had the opportunity to fill the gaps between all my teammates' abilities and skills by sharing my knowledge, and by having the opportunity to research new interesting topics such as animation trees inside the unity engine.

Implemented the "Owl vision" mechanic.
Created VFXs, such as the Fireflies, hits, ground debris, etc.
Improved the feeling of the game using the plugin DOTWeen.
Programmed the UI.

As always, I had a blast working with my friends on a such cute and beautiful little project. I am completely proud of the result .

I enjoyed the most having the opportunity to share my knowledge with my teammates.

See the project

Break a leg - Level Up Game Jam

As the only programmer in the team, I was responsible for implement all the technical matters. From gameplay, UI to Animations amongst others.

Generate random levels based on different parameters.
Gameplay mechanics (lives, luck system and draw the tarot cards)
Set animations and effects.
Programmed the UI.
Setup correctly the audio system to play music and sound effects.

Having to work directly with 4 artist gave me a good insight of the art creation pipeline. I enjoyed so much learning about it.

I loved the challenge of being the only programmer in the team.

Dare Dual Duel (DDD) - GGJ 2022

This time I was responsible for:

Calculate the boundaries dynamically.
Programmed elements to respect the boundaries.
Implement the different power-ups.
Created a responsive UI.

I was able to apply and improve my general knowledge of SOLID methodology and UI programming.

I enjoyed the most viewing different people having so much fun playing it. It was so rewarding!

PirateYa - GGJ 2021

This year GGJ was a little bit different for us all (you already know why hahaha). On this occasion, we were 3 programmers and just one 3D artist (that could not participate the entire time of the jam).

The things I was responsible for:

The setup for the navmesh so the ship can move.
Set the interactions of the ship with the harbors so the pirate can land.
Program the spawner for the treasure map pieces.
The water shader build using shader graph.
The chest open animation.

Also, I ended modeling the terrain, and placing the props all around the island, since our 3D artist was not able to stay all the jam.

I am very proud of my team and the work we did there!

Human again - GGJ 2020

This global game jam was so much fun for me. Although my mates were abroad participating in the Jam (some from Rome and others from Valencia), it was super smooth and dynamic. We all were already working together on other projects. so already knew how to share our ideas and thoughts.

I worked on the drag and drop of the humans.
Programmed the selection outline.

Also, I proposed mechanics and look for diverse backgrounds that could be a good reference for our 2D artist.

Yet simple but a fun game! I loved it!

Back Home - GGJ 2019

This was the first GameJam I have ever attended. Even I knew almost nothing about game development nor Unity game engine it was a really enjoyable experience.

I started to learn about visual effects.
Also I programmed my first UI.

The biggest challenge in this project was to organize all 9 participants since most of us met the same day of the event.
