About me

Who am I? Why am I here?

My name is Nuren, but everyone call me "Dipto" as my nickname. I was born in Italy 2001, and moved to live in the uk in 2014.

Since I was young, I was using computers throughout my whole life and studied to become a game developer as I have passion on playing games.

My goal is to turn these hobbies into a professional career, blending my love for gaming with my creative skills.

Game Dev

What made me inspire to become a game dev?

When I was around at very young age, I got my hands on a Nintendo 64 and spent endless hours playing classic games like "Super Mario 64", "Star Fox" and "Shadows of the Empire". I was mesmerized the fact that you can able to interacts objects and certain things on a tv screen.

so I thought to myself and thinking, "I want to make games like this too!" and Now, after chasing that dream for almost 14 years, i finally can able to make games that i truly wanted!

Engine

Which Engine do I use?

"Unity3D" was my second big find in game development, and it really changed the game for me during my college years.

Before diving into any game engines, even "Scratch", I came across Unity3D when it was still behind a paywall, but Once I got access, it became my go-to engine, letting me bring my ideas to life.

I ended up creating four mini projects, and each one showed me just how awesome and versatile "Unity3D" can be for someone like me who was just starting out.

After the drama with "Unity3D" about the run-time fee, I decided to switch gears and adopt "Godot/Redot" as my primary game engine for future projects as I really appreciate that both engines are open-source, which compliments my values as a developer.

So far, I have created multiple prototypes using "Godot 4", including a flashlight bodycam mechanics, platform movement, and a time feature that syncs with the real world.

Additionally, I participated in a jam with my little brother using "Redot", and I'm currently working on my commercial game using Redot.

my first-ever project using the website game engine "Scratch", which I developed during my time in college.

I created a top-down zombie game where players must eliminate zombies to earn points. The project included a competition against my peers, and I am proud to say that I won, earning free games on Steam as my reward.

This experience sparked my passion for game dev journey and encouraged me to explore more on making good quality games in the future.

This awesome open-source engine "Fighter Factory" lets me create my own fighting games which I'm currently using this day.

It's mostly known for being used in games like MUGEN and Ikemen GO. I stumbled upon MUGEN when I was pretty young, and it sparked my interest in contributing to the fighting game with some cool content.

Nowadays, I mainly use Ikemen GO to bring my fighting game ideas to life and I'm currently working on a Ikemen go Screenpack called "Legenders of Fighters".
