About Me
Hey, I’m maglucen 👋
Technical Artist · Gameplay Programmer · VR tinkerer based in Madrid
What’s this site for?
- Logbook – a living notebook where I record solutions, experiments and “gotchas” I bump into while building games.
- Portfolio – a quick way for studios and collaborators to see what I can do and reach out.

How I work
- Reusable first – systems and shaders designed to scale across levels and projects.
- Procedural whenever possible – automate the boring, keep creativity for the fun bits.
- Gameplay-centric art – visuals that feel good to play, not just to look at.
- Influenced by the systemic depth of ARK: Survival Ascended, the emergent chaos of The Binding of Isaac, and the reactive VFX of Returnal.
Looking for
Open to full-time, part-time or freelance roles where code and art meet: tech-art pipelines, gameplay prototyping, VR R&D, or all of the above.
