Games Design and Programming

Ioana-Georgia Gherasim

UK-based Game Designer and Programmer with a passion for animals and horror games! All time favourite game has got to be Alien: Isolation, but I've got hundreds of hours in Minecraft, Ark, RimWorld and more. I like to focus on game mechanics and making the most fun out of what I have worked on.

Gambit is a 2D Card Game, where the cards themselves are your lifeline! Run out of cards, and you lose the game. Attack the enemy to diminish their resources, upgrade your own arsenal, and even steal from the opponent to enlarge your collection!

This is a 2-Player Couch Co-Op game, where you and your friend are tied together by a rope! There's a total of 4 levels, with both keyboard and controller control schemes.

Papers' Please inspired project made in 3 months where you play as a train inspector using a powerful x-ray machine. You have to meet a quota, send trains to the correct destinations, and avoid sending contraband to innocent places!

Space Spinner was my team's entry to JuniperDev's Super Serious Game Jam! The theme was "Spin to Win", so we came up with the idea of a stranded spaceship that, due to broken engines, is constantly spinning! To fix it, the Player needs to earn enough money by dashing into enemies and slingshotting off of planets.

Sweet and short platformer to test out level design ideas and audio implementation. Art assets were from an asset pack and, although some of the enemy placement could be better, it's still a fun solo project with some nice hidden secrets!

Small game made over the Summer where the Player has to avoid oncoming attacks from all over the screen. Made quickly to test out a fun idea I had and to learn more about FMOD integration.
