About Me
Hello, I'm Srinath Krishnakumar, and I specialise in gameplay and technical design. I've always been inclined to create unique yet familiar player experiences.
I have 3 years of experience in Unity, and that knowledge helps me to break down seamless gameplay into different states that the player and the enemy perform and how it's implemented in the engine.
As a technical designer, I'm comfortable prototyping gameplay with little to no help from programmers, allowing me to iterate very fast.
​
I also create extensive documentation of how mechanics must be implemented in the game to make it clear for the programmers to code it.
