GAME · FINAL DEGREE PROJECT01
VillAI
AI-driven NPC systems & interactions
A game exploring generative AI for more dynamic NPCs: context-aware dialogue, memory of past events, environmental reactions and personality-consistent responses.
GAME DEVELOPER · GAMEPLAY & DESIGN
Miquel
Barbarà
I build gameplay systems, design mechanics and prototype interactive experiences — from Unity games to custom C++ engines.

SELECTED WORK
Featured projects
A curated selection of games, gameplay work and engine programming.
GAME · TEAM PROJECT02
Bound by Death
Systems & mechanics design · gameplay development
A cooperative action project where I worked across design and implementation, shaping mechanics and systems and iterating on the playable experience with the team.
ENGINE · PERSONAL PROJECT03
Emeika
Custom C++ / DirectX 12 game engine
Built to understand modern engine internals: GPU resources, rendering architecture, synchronization, scene systems, editor tooling and real-time profiling.
ENGINE · MASTER'S PROJECT04
Engine Master UPC
Rendering · architecture · tooling
The evolution of the engine work started in Emeika, expanded collaboratively during my Master's projects with deeper rendering, architecture and tooling work.

UpperTale
An Undertale-inspired 2D project built to learn ECS architecture and rendering. I implemented character controls, AABB collisions, sprite animation and event progression.
Repository ↗Zork
A command-line tribute to Zork with extensible pattern-based command recognition, inventory, equipment, combat, containers and exploration.
Repository ↗BetweenUS
A social-deduction academic project. I built text-driven map generation, viewport rendering, collision detection and player sprite animation.

I like working where game design meets code.
I’m a game developer who moves between design and programming. I enjoy turning ideas into playable systems, testing them with players, and refining both the technical implementation and the player experience.
