Games Portfolio
Hi, I'm Bruno Santos Araújo, I'm a computer scientist with a Master’s degree and a game developer. I've worked on games for VR, PC and consoles; also Android and WebGL on game jams.
Below are some of the games I worked on, with awesome folks. Except where indicated, all games were made with the Unity engine.
