Personal Profile
Hi, my name is Daniel Velasco, I'm a devoted Level and Game designer with a M.S. from the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy. I have two years of experience working on solo and group projects with proficiency in Unity and Unreal 5 engine. My experience includes brainstorming and documenting concepts for game mechanics and levels, building blockouts for levels, set dressing/cluttering levels after art assets have been made, and implementing feedback from leads and playtesters. I have shipped one title: Soul Detective on itch.io and steam with another title soon to follow.

The University of Central Florida is a public research university with its main campus located in unincorporated Orange County, Florida. I was enrolled in the Digital Media - game design program. I also had a minor in creative writing. In this program, I learned many useful skills including how to use the Unity game engine and a little bit of Unreal engine as well.
