Yendis is a well-known developer of real-time web applications and was my starting point in creating art for web-based games. During my time contributing to their projects, many of my assets were implemented in-game, and I became familiar within the community. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of the terms regarding attribution at the time, so my work went uncredited.

By far the most enjoyable work I’ve done to date. HST game studios is run by small team of developers who are extremely passionate about the project SCP: Fragment Minds. A survival horror based in a colony on mars. SCP: Fragment Minds was developed Unreal engine 5 which provides incredible functions such as nanite, virtualized geometry allowing the rendering of trillions of triangles in a single scene. Which grants me a lot more freedom in modeling.
Noticing the clear lack of high-quality .io games, another developer and I set out to create sicar.io, a browser-based multiplayer first-person shooter—no downloads required, just play directly in your browser.
To power the game, we've developed our own custom engine called Lumina, built on WebGL. Lumina includes a range of advanced features such as inverse kinematics, node-based post-processing, and modern shading techniques like cascaded shadow maps and screen space ambient occlusion.
