Game Designer

martina mikolas

Now I am working on...

I am working on a multiplayer survival and crafting game according to the course "Smart Polly."

My creative contribution to the level design involves the story of a girl banished from her village because she is considered "weird."

The truth is, she is indeed unique because she can travel to a world of ghosts and dreams, where magic exists. However, her physical body still needs support from the real world.

...now, she must build a refuge....

The project is currently in the early stages. I have developed the concept, skill tree, and visual board. I am now writing blueprints in Unreal Engine 5. I hope to find a skilled artist to assist with Blender, or I may try to tackle it myself...

Why you want to work with me...

I highly recommend Martina. While at Visualio, she not only excelled as a Project Manager but also took the lead in developing an innovative educational online game. She demonstrated exceptional creativity and technical skills, managing the entire process from concept to development, with a deep understanding of game mechanics and educational content. Martina is a dedicated professional with a unique blend of creative and organizational skills, making her a valuable asset to any team.

Jakub Dostál
Managing Director at Visualio s.r.o.

Martina is a former game design student who showed much promise in this discipline early on and, I believe, with time, will become a game design force to reckon with. She is smart, self-driven, and eager to learn and understand everything game development offers. She asks the right, thoughtful questions at the right time, and her analytical mind helps her find unique approaches to a given task. On top of that, she is also fun to hang out with and has a great sense of humour and authenticity to her personality. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Martina should consider themselves lucky.

Leni Krsová
SKVT Game Design lektorka, Level Designer of Witcher 1 remaster

Martina helped as an independent consultant to move Imaglee to the next level. Her main contribution was structured thinking, creativity, coaching skills and PR know-how. Martina, it was true joy inventing games with Imaglee cards together. I am grateful to you for helping streamline our ideas and keeping us on track. May your creative potential shine in new projects!
