Hi! I'm Soham, AKA NuclearCactus 😎
Hi! I'm Soham, AKA NuclearCactus 😎
I am a Game Designer and a Erasmus Mundus scholar from Kolkata, India who is currently studying Masters in Game Design at Aalto University, Finland.
I love creating games which reflect society and tell stories of ordinary lives. My key skills include Programming, Level Design, Game Writing and Pixel Art, but I am a generalist who can wear multiple hats whenever duty calls!
You can find me in my free time playing JRPGs, reading sci-fi and fantasy, and obsessing over cinema.
You can play the games I have made on https://nuclearcactus.itch.io
Background 👨🎓
Background 👨🎓
I made games as a hobby while I was studying Electrical Engineering for my Undergrad in India. I made games for hackathons which won awards, as well as for academic research projects in Human Computer Interaction and Persuasive Computing in universities in India and abroad.
Unfortunately, these games are not available on itch.io, however I have a showcase reel of my work prior to 2024, when I joined the REPLAY Programme with a full scholarship.
I am an experienced programmer with background in Java, C# and C++, and working in Unity. I have worked on game projects ranging from 2D, 3D, analog controllers, board games, physical games, LARPs and TTRPGs, with my games being showcased at game events like Lisbon Games Week and GamesNow! exhibition in Lisbon and Helsinki respectively.
