PAU GONZÁLEZ CAYUELA
GAME DESIGNER
ABOUT ME
Welcome to my site! I'm Pau González Cayuela, a passionate Game Designer currently pursuing a degree in Game Design and Development at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona.
I've been captivated by gaming since I was young, starting with creating custom levels for Mario and Portal when I wasn't even 10 years old. This early interest sparked a lifelong passion for game development, and my goal is to craft engaging and memorable experiences that bring joy to players around the world.
With a strong foundation in Game Mechanics, narrative design, game balance, level design... I also have technical skills in programming with C#, C++, Unity, ASM, Custom Engines and Unreal Engine. My education has given me a solid understanding of both the artistic and technical sides of game design.
I'm always exploring new ideas and technologies to bring fresh and exciting concepts to life. Whether through complex puzzles, immersive narratives, or unique gameplay mechanics, I strive to create games that resonate with players and stand out in the industry. I have an hiperfixation into the game feel of the mechanics of the game, always ensuring this do not just work but also feel good and with flow.
Thanks for visiting my site. I look forward to the possibility of working together and creating amazing gaming experiences!
PROFESSIONAL GOALS
I'm driven by a passion to create games that provide players with memorable and enjoyable experiences. My goal is to use my creativity, technical skills, and enthusiasm to contribute to innovative and successful game projects. I look forward to joining a dynamic team where I can collaborate with other talented professionals and continue to grow as a game designer. From the technical to the creative part.
PS: I am currently working on a project on which we haven't shared any information online yet. So if you are a recruiter, ask me for it! I can share some details and my contribution on it!

SWAN LAKE
Game Designer
Tabletop Card Game
Swan Lake is a game of intrigue and strategy where players take on secret roles as swans. Most players are White Swans competing to become the Swan Queen, but one is secretly a Black Swan seeking power through hidden means. The White Swans must uncover the Black Swan's identity to prevent them from winning, while the Black Swan aims to deceive the group and claim victory.
This game is based on the famous ballet play named the same, and has a lot of similarities with the original story. In the original Swan Lake, Odette, a girl who has been transformed into a White Swan due to the curse of evil Rothbart, has to win the love of the prince in order to break the spell and become a woman again. Similarly to the game, in the ballet there’s a Black Swan, Odile, who, disguised as a White Swan, tries to steal the prince from Odette.
城の登高 (The castle's ascension)
Game Designer
Tabletop Card Game
Players fight in order to be the first ones to have a castle (4 towers, 1 roof) in their village. Along the way, players can build different buildings and fortify them, and also they can screw each other.
The reason behind this game, is that I wanted to do a casual game with a clear game loop which works without any game experience flaw. Reception has been good, people who played it had fun.
