Hey there, I'm carlosfruitcup. An Indie Game Developer.

For the past 5 years, I've built multiple projects in multiple languages (GDScript, C++, C#, etc.), both solo and collaborating with others.

My main focus is creating strong gameplay systems, experimenting with custom frameworks and engine level programming, and publishing games on platforms such as Steam, Itch.io and Gamejolt.
