Emir İstemi
@emirstemi
I build and ship small digital games and interactive art—end to end—through rapid prototyping and testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m an independent digital creator with hands-on experience taking small-scale software and art projects from planning through development, testing, and release. I focus on fast, repeatable production cycles and careful iteration so the work reaches a finished, playable state.
As the Founder of Arcade B Studio (Feb 2024 – Feb 2026), I designed and released 3 small-scale digital games in short production cycles (2–14 days). Across my published projects, I reached 120+ total players, demonstrating that my releases connect with real audiences.
I managed the full project workflow independently: planning, development, testing, and release. I also created and sold digital asset packs through online marketplaces, and collaborated with other artists on visual materials for a commercial game project—so I’m comfortable working both solo and in production teams.
Technically, I combine programming fundamentals with interactive system design, 3D modeling, and basic sound implementation. I use tools like Godot Engine, Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, Substance Painter, GIMP, and Aseprite, and I lean on rapid prototyping, troubleshooting, and detail-oriented problem solving to improve each iteration.
