Ömer Akçalı
@merakal
I build Unity games across PC and mobile, combining gameplay development.
TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
My last project is Wavecrashers at Eightfold Interactive, a three-player co-op strategy game that combines mechanics inspired by Dota 2 and tower defense games.
Previously at Gleam Games, I developed features and improved mobile optimization for casual and hybrid-casual games. At Ace Games, I worked on Fiona's Farm, an adventure and blast-puzzle game with more than 100K daily active users.
I've also built hypercasual prototypes at Gameflex and Proud Dinosaurs, spanning hypercasual, casual, and PC game concepts.
As a freelance game developer and designer, I contributed to a Darkest Dungeon-inspired turn-based RPG and created Unity game-optimization video content with GameDev.Guru. I also enjoy collaborative design work, including a Papers, Please-inspired Global Game Jam game and a Metroidvania PC game concept.
