Started to interest in the video game industry since 2009,  thanks to my boyfriend (now my husband). He was actively working on his new project pasmejies.lv, where I saw a lot about the game development. After that, he decided to start a new game project and as a total code guy, he didn’t have a time for content creating, so that was my first game dev related challenge for Hotelis game.

All my experience in the game development comes from the self-learning process, by having a chance to develop.

In some leisure moments, I’m learning pixel art for the games.

Games I’ve worked on

Bearslayer

Desktop game Bearslayer. Fast-paced one button 2D platformer arcade game about Latvian epic tale hero “Lāčplēsis”. No matter how fast you are, you will die A LOT.
