Aden Halili

​

Hello! Welcome to my game design portfolio! My name is Aden Halili, a student at ASU with a passion for game design and creating fun and new gaming experiences. I fell in love with gaming growing up as a kid and have always found myself wanting to create games as a career. I've gotten the opportunity to start making games throughout my academic years starting from simple programs like Scratch to now working in Unity. I have created and helped create various games of multiple genres from platformers to shooters and my work can be seen throughout my portfolio. I tend to make sure that I am making games that others enjoy playing and that I too enjoy playing. Throughout group projects, I tend to be more on the design team, whether that be game design or level design, and it has been something that I adore, and want to continue to pursue.

 

Creativity is something that surrounds me and continues to follow me everywhere I go. For example, as the president of a student-led dance organization at ASU, I am constantly having to find new ways to improve my club and assist choreographers in creating exciting choreographies. Similar to making choreographies when I make games, I like to use inspiration from other projects but still make it my own. This can be seen with my first published project, Savin' Souls. It uses ordinary platforming elements but includes a story inspired by things I heavily enjoy, League of Legends, (Lucian and Senna lore) and Jinsoul (one of my favorite K-Pop idols). This idea is also used conceptually with gameplay mechanics and themes. 

 

I hope that my ideas and games can keep you immersed and engaged. If you'd like to learn more about me or simply get in touch with me please leave me a message below under the contact form, I'd be happy to respond!
