What I Did?

As the lead 3D artist and game designer on P.O.T.A.T.O., my role was essential in creating the charming and unique world that players explore. My contributions involved the crafting of stylized, low-poly 3D models that lend the game its distinctive, cell-shaded aesthetic. From our plucky potato protagonist to the intricate lab setting and various mechanical parts, each model was created with a balance of simplicity and character that defines our game's visual style.

My hard work, along with the help of a great team, really paid off when our game, P.O.T.A.T.O., won a prize of 10.000₺ at the MAUJAM 2023 event. This event was the first of its kind at Maltepe University. Winning this prize showed us that our game was really good and original. It also encouraged me to keep trying new and exciting things in game design.
