The designer
behind the systems

Jorge L. Iglesias

I'm a game designer with a B.S. in Engineering — Digital Entertainment Design from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. I specialize in systems-driven gameplay, player progression, game economies, and risk–reward mechanics.

My background is cross-disciplinary: I design, prototype, playtest, and when needed, implement in Unity with C#. I believe great game design is inseparable from iteration — I build to test, not to ship the first draft.

Outside of game design, I've organized large-scale community events in Bucaramanga — scaling from 15 to 1,500 attendees — which sharpened my instincts around engagement, pacing, and what makes people actually show up.

I'm based in Colombia, working remotely, and open to relocation for the right opportunity. Fluent in Spanish (native) and English (near-native, C1 certified).

What I've built

Adrenaline Unity development screenshot In Development

Solo Developer — Design, Programming, UI

Adrenaline

A multiplayer party card game for 4–16 players, originally validated as a physical prototype and now in development as a mobile game in Unity/C#. Players draw dares pulled at random from a curated pool, with an in-game economy letting them skip, redirect, or reroll challenges, or target other players. Progression is built on lives, points, and escalating difficulty. Tested across 3 live playtesting sessions with ~10 players before moving to digital.

Narrative Designer & Level Designer

Vindico's Journey

A feudal steampunk setting where mythological artifacts hold real, often-corrupted power. The story follows Vindico Fortis, heir to a family sworn to recover dangerous relics from those who abuse them — and his growing conflict between his family's doctrine of non-intervention and his own sense of justice, sharpened through repeated encounters with a rival who chooses direct action over restraint. Development on the build was shelved, but the worldbuilding, character writing, and three-mission story structure were completed and are the part of this project I'm most proud of.

A bit of 3D, when a project calls for it

Not a primary focus, but I'm comfortable in Blender when a prototype needs a quick model or a concept needs to be seen in 3D.
