About
Who is crankyfuse?
Hey! I'm Abel Mercadé (crankyfuse), a technical artist and game developer based in Madrid. With a Bachelor's in Graphic Design and 8+ years of self-taught programming expertise, I create games where cutting edge visuals meet rock solid technical implementation.
I specialize in bridging the gap between art and coding, creating stunning visual effects, and ensuring games not only look amazing but perform flawlessly. My work ranges from indie passion projects to published Steam games and large-scale web game platforms.
When I'm not coding or designing, I'm probably hanging out with my wife and three cats who always manage to inspire me (or at least provide excellent debugging company).
Work
My professional experience spans from independent technical art consulting to long-term contractor relationships with established studios.
