Hey, I am Ibrahim. A game programmer transitioning to a game designer and an artist (who graduated with a bachelor's in Literature and Linguistics and I hold M.Phil in Applied Linguistics too)!
Hey, I am Ibrahim. I have been developing games since 2017 using Unity and Godot (started during a little in school then left then again during my bachelor's); however, I never completed any serious games of mine because doing art for the games would demotivate me every time so it's a list full of incomplete prototypes.
Fast-forward, I work as a Unity Developer it's been 3-4 years I guess. It was all good, still okay, but the things changed for good when LLMs became mainstream for coding; now instead of solving problems on my own and feeling triumphant, all I do is just prompt and test. I used to find meaning in programming (because I couldn't complete any game), and I was fairly good at it - dealing with low-level stuff, like making and using native libraries, and programming sensors etc. I know C#, GDScript, Python, a little Flutter, somewhat C/C++, Javascript, and a little Rust too.
But ever since I have been using LLMs on my job it's been very boring for me. So, it motivated me to get better at game design, and even art again.
Here's my little attempt at game design: this game is based on Semantic Networks: a network of world relations in our mind (at least my Linguistics degree came to use for once lol)

Soon it will be on the Playstore too.
I have been analyzing and designing puzzle games and I will share what I found soon!
