Colin Correale — Gameplay Programmer & Technical Artist

Colin Correale

Gameplay Programmer & Technical Artist

I connect engineering and art to build responsive gameplay, stylized worlds, and polished production assets in Unreal Engine, Unity and Godot.

Reusable Interaction System

C++ • Blueprints • 3D Art • UI/UX

Seamless interactions built to scale

Designed to feel natural and responsive for players, the interaction system ranks interactables and removes used ones. The chest extends a base interactable class that can also support doors, machines, NPCs, and other gameplay objects. The UI provides information without pausing movement or covering the game. I modeled and UV-mapped the chest and castle environment in Blender, textured them in Substance Painter, and handled the scene setup and lighting in Unreal Engine 5.8.

  • Reusable base interactable architecture
  • Overlapping and rapid interaction handling
  • Animated non-blocking UI feedback
  • Environment modeling, texturing, and lighting

Stylized Valley

Solo Developer • Unreal Engine 5.6

  • Gameplay programming and prototyping
  • Environment and level design
  • Stylized modeling and texturing

Multidisciplinary work on a distributed team

A 3D horror game about investigating a laboratory filled with deceptively cute monsters. Developed with a globally distributed team and released commercially on Steam and Itch.io.

  • Companion gameplay system
  • Level design and gameplay implementation
  • Modeling and animation
  • Lighting and sound design

Let’s build something memorable.

I’m available for gameplay programming, technical art, and multidisciplinary game-development opportunities.
