Contributions

When I joined Heromask, I had to work as a solo game developer and own the whole process of production of the minigames in Unity with C#. This includes market research, game, and level design, prototype, and develop until the release of each game. Six months later, an artist joined the studio and helped me with the aesthetics of the app.

 

These minigames were based on Montessori Pedagogy, designed to encourage motivation and interest in the learning of languages and mathematics. We used neuroeducation to help store information more effectively and develop a healthy relationship with these two subjects, especially in children between five and twelve years.

 

Also, as a small studio, I worked on other needs like subventions, Amazon statistics, ADs optimization, recruitment, and others.
