Remi Martel

As a Montreal-based developer, I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Software Engineering from UQAM in 2022. My diverse experience includes roles at UdeM, Nightborn, UQAM, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Les Pros de la Photo. From back-end to full-stack development, I've honed my skills, with a keen interest in game development, demonstrated through my work with Unity and augmented reality at CSA. Additionally, I've been actively involved in Montreal conventions since 2016, holding technical leadership roles such as PC Gaming Director at Otakuthon, and providing technical support and logistical assistance for events like Dreamhack Montreal and LAN ETS.

Wasteland (Log725 - ETS)

I made this game during an optional course at ETS (log725) with two teammates.

This game is a roguelike sidescroller where the character can fight zombies in a randomly generated level to gain money to unlock a second character. The two characters can be switched at any moment and their attacks combo to do more damage (fire DOT + wind = fire tornado). At the furthest point from the entrance in the generated level, there is an exit that leads to the boss.

Hard Reset (Global Game Jam 2020)

My first participation in the Global Game Jam at ETS. My team and I created a side-scrolling platformer around the year's theme: 'repair'.

My team was composed of only programmers and we used the Unity game engine to build the game.

After the first level, our game 'crashes' and the player must repair it by finding and restoring some of the core mechanics of the game (jumping, animations, sound) represented as collectibles.
