Paczek
I'm a programmer, mostly interested in video games. I like to understand and tinker around with the tools I use as well as experimenting with non-game projects.

Quandary
A 3D puzzle game prototype made in Godot with eerie visuals, music and sound effects. I created all the code, music, sfx, textures, models and shaders
Yellow Car
A 2D same-screen multiplayer game made in Godot with carefully assembled ambient VFX and SFX, with all assets and code made by me.
Steam
Yavalanche Demo
A tower defense game demo made with the Unity Engine and published on Steam. I was responsible for development and/or maintenance of most gameplay systems. Some of the highlights are:
- Steamworks SDK Integration Wrapper: Built a custom abstraction layer converting native Steamworks API callbacks into C# Tasks, drastically improving developer ergonomics.
- Custom Editor Tooling: Developed a suite of C# attributes, custom inspectors, and a dedicated cheats menu editor window to simplify iteration and debugging.
- Advanced Audio System: Implemented dynamic sound limiting and delay optimization for cluttered scenes.
- Gameplay Systems: Created deterministic infinite wave generation, random "natural disaster" events, and player upgrade mechanics.
- Code Quality: Refactored core logic using C# extension methods to reduce boilerplate and improve readability.
Godot Engine Fork
A fork of the Godot Engine adjusted to suit my games better. Some of the changes include:
- A utility node for decoding GIF images into usable frames (6c7c8db)
- A new StyleBox type that can merge 2 different StyleBoxFlat instances (131e364)
- A new theme property that can change the font size and icon on buttons when pressed (36d5713, dc83dec)
- Changes to the GDScript parser to discourage problematic syntax (67aadb2, 060becb)
- A single float value constructor for all vector types (a6014a9)
- An option to shorten the text in inactive tabs of TabContainer (49637ac, 739ced2)
- A project setting that can disable the focus mechanic on UI elements (4d4b81b)
- Changes to the Scons build system settings to avoid some gcc crashes on older engine versions (1bbf916)
- Default values for class properties that are more intuitive or match the documentation (10176c0, c837b2f)
Frame
A WebRTC-based multiplayer party game made with a custom fork of Godot and a WebSocket-based Node.js backend.
The game was developed solo; feature highlights are as follows:
- A custom WebRTC signaling protocol with a lobby system.
- Godot RPC-based netcode for the entire game (up to 8 players at once).
- GIF image decoder integrated directly into a fork of the Godot Engine.
- Downloading images from user-submitted URLs based on Open Graph metadata.
- Client-side image caching system (bandwidth optimization + load time reduction).
- Full gameplay implementation, with stylized UI and SFX.
0 A. D.
I contributed two commits to the open source game 0 A. D.
- Moved the exposedFunctions variable to the GuiInterface class to allow modification without fully overriding it, increasing mod compatibility (55e948d68b)
- Ported a patch that increases maximum selection size from the old issue tracker (a11b2cc500)
Unity DOTS Test
Two multiplayer projects in Unity DOTS and Netcode for Entities, both made as a part of a technical assessment task. One focuses on animations via Game object - ECS integration and the other on pure DOTS and code quality.
Godot WebRTC Demo
An example WebRTC implementation in the Godot Engine with a NodeJS backend that uses WebSockets. Created as a base for my future projects.
Select All
A mod for the game 0 A. D. which improves unit selection. It can filter units based on various criteria and has custom keybind support.
Pong JS
A pong game based on my custom collision simulation made in JS without using any existing algorithms.
