Emil Gašparec Portfolio

There are game designers, and there are boys who just happen to work in the game industry for the time being.

I fall into the first category.

I made my first game 11 years ago and I haven't stopped ever since.

I can help your project in these areas.

I was part of both experienced and punkish teams.

Between projects, I tend to indulge myself in hobby solo development.

Outside of my main expertise I also have experience in these roles:

Screenwriter, Artist (Pixel Art, Vector), Director, Programmer (Unity, GMS, Ren’py)

"Emil má přirozenou schopnost komunikace, umí klást správné otázky a je to výborný týmový hráč. Jeho neutuchající entuziasmus a snaha se učit nové věci znamená, že se dokáže rychle zorientovat v jakékoliv nové doméně a to je pro něj jako pro game designéra neocenitelná schopnost. Spolupracoval jsem s ním na několika game jamech a vždy jsem odcházel s pocitem nejen dobře odvedené práce, ale také příjemně stráveného času s lidmi. Emil byl schopen vždy přispět prací game designéra, scriptéra, spisovatele ale i slušnou a vkusnou 2D grafikou, nehledě na jeho neotřelé a vtipné nápady. Cílevědomý, pozitivní a neotřelý, tak bych popsal Emila ve třech slovech."

· Pavel Fadrhonc

"Emil is a talented designer who is really passionate about games. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on a passion project of mine and he was able to tune into what the game was all about. He is eager to learn new things and comes up with interesting ideas consistently. Perhaps even more importantly, he is a good person with a strong set of values."

Do you have a project on which you would like to consult with an expert?

Have you made a demo and now you search for in-depth feedback?

As a shop assistant in a game shop, it was part of my job to know and at least try every game we had. In five years I tested most of the physically released catalogs for PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, PSVita, X360, and XONE in the PAL region regardless of my preferences.

This wide knowledge, combined with my experience as a designer and developer gave me an especially broad view and knowledge base, which I'm willing to share.

Having years of experience and keeping it for myself is not fun. That’s why I’m fine with any opportunity to share it.

Topics I feel competent to talk about are game design, level design, solo development, creative process, productivity and personal growth.

To ensure the best quality I offer this service only in Czech language.

Outside of my profession I’m also interested in personal growth and productivity.

Morning routine, meditation, deep focus, intermittent fasting … whatever could make my life even better or my work time more efficient.

One method that I'm personally really fond of is yearly goals. I've been using this method for more than ten years now and of course, thanks to my profession I don’t forget to iterate it each time.

I wrote down all my experiences, advice and methods into one ebook. Right now the material is only in czech language, but if it sounds interesting to you, let me know.
