My Contributions

This series of games was composed of 5 small racing titles developed for the then-upcoming Zeebo console in Brazil. Despite the limited scope, the amount of work was enormous - my team had to create a console-looking 3D racing game from scratch without any pre-built engine, in a first-generation smartphone chipset. The team had to scale up to 23 people at one point in order to finish one of those games every 2 months across the year of 2009.
