A little bit about me

Hello there!

If you clicked here, there is a slight chance you might be interested in more than a simply formal introduction of my persona written formally; but, if that is what you're looking for, here you are:

My name is Tomas. I am a 27-year-old independent developer based in Argentina. My journey into the world of game development began back in 2013 when I first taught myself Unity. Since then, I’ve been fascinated by the process of creating, though for a long time, game development was something I did quietly in the background.

It is my true passion, and I am currently working hard to turn this into my primary career. As an indie developer, I balance my day-to-day life with my development work, dedicating my nights, early mornings, and weekends to coding, designing, and learning.

I’m here to give this dream an honest chance. I hope to grow, learn from feedback, and share my creations with you.

Thank you for stopping by.

Kindly.

Despite this being a lovely wall of text and a cute picture of literally 10 years ago, I think there's more to the happy story, a story I'm willing to share. A story of challenges that thought me many lessons. I feel like it is time to give it a shot.

I kept finding myself in an endless loop of starting new projects and never progressing long enough to make a difference. All abstract concepts or some sort of demonstrations. After all those years, all those attempts, I think I learned enough. I hope it's not too late, life was not easy yet the first thing I "sacrificed" is this passion.

In this website, you'll find all my official creations, I'll keep the secret gems, my very firsts games, to myself for now (they're terrible). If you are feeling philosophical, you might find the Personal Logs interesting; otherwise check out the Devlogs to see development progress.

This is both a journal and a newsletter, I'm really looking forward to learning, but enough introduction,
now to some other parts of my life... I'd like to talk a bit about my education, work experience and more.

My Work

I keep this part updated, so this information is always the latest:

I've worked for two companies so far, both startups. I worked on free and paid freelance projects.

I'm also a University Professor. I teach where I studied. For years, I worked there. I took a break to finish my studies, have my finals and present my thesis.

My plan is to create and release an Online Course of Game Development taking advantage on what I learnt over the years.

I'm currently employed by the second startup, I'm working on XR projects. It's not really challenging and honestly, I don't feel appreciated. I did my best for 5+ years, and they did reward me for it at the beginning, but eventually they grew really greedy and corpo so I felt how that dream faded.

The only way to grow, is this way, jumping into the abyss. Hopefully, all my years will serve me well!

My Education

I always loved content-creation. I thought myself to code in BATCH (.bat files) and then learned about Unity. Since then, I've been practicing, I made some early publishing but nothing relevant (nor good).

I started my career at my University by pure pressure. I knew most of the stuff as I have been coding for years then, so I had an advantage. I worked on some passion projects, some saw the light of day, but they are simple.

I continue to learn, I want to become better.
So the best way of practicing is doing it, so here we are!

Coffee Cat Studios

With a close friend of mine, we're working on this game studio. While I will be publishing original both here on TXMSKA and CCS, some ideas might belong to the other member. We join forces and work together!

Projects that have longer development times and are narratively and programmatically more complex will be published by CCS! Deep Space, Inheritance and more titles!

TXMSKA (myself) and DelfiLT (Delfina Tomasino) are the members of this studio.

We own a vast asset library, that will help in creating the right experience.
