Hello. I'm Dídac Romero. - Since I was young I loved playing games, sports and music. I'm now pursuing a career as a video game programmer and I recently graduated from UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) with a Bachelor's degree in Video game Design and Development. The degree was taught entirely in English. Thank you for checking out my projects!

Unity Navigation Mesh Generator

Team size: 1

Roles:

Programmer

This is the prototype that I developed for my final year project in which I made a small modular tool that was capable of generating a mesh from a Unity 2D grid map. The goal of this project is to provide a baseline for other programmers to experiment with different partitioning algorithms and to use adjacency graphs to code whatever path finding approach suits their needs.

2019: GATE Engine (3D Game Engine)

Team size: 2

Roles:

Programmer

GATE is a 3D game engine we built with a colleague. The engine features all necesary systems for a 3D game engine and a Lua based scripting system. At the end of the semester this engine was chosen by the teacher as the game engine to develop The Witcher: Ties of Destiny, but we switched to another game engine that a friend had been improving over the holidays which had an almost Unity like resource manager. The scripting system was used and improved during the whole development of the 3D game The Witcher: Ties of Destiny.
