Kardtana is a first-person, card-slicing, 'gambling' roguelike. Slicing through cards adds them to the player's deck to make various poker hands, for a big money cashout. ​Each round there is a new quota to meet, failing to do so results in the ending of the run.

// About Me //
TECHNICAL/GAME DESIGNER
// Short Summary //
Hi, I'm Oliver! I'm a 22 year old games design student at Staffordshire University London. I'm in my third year, and am looking to join the games industry as a Technical/Game Designer.​​
​
My objective is to improve the development pipeline between the designers and the programmers. When in the player's hands, I want the game to feel the best possible way it could have, and I believe I have to skills to help any studio achieve this.
My favourite games include Monster Hunter World and Elden Ring. However, putting video games aside, I do have other interests too! I absolutely love playing football; more than anything it is about being part of a close and hard-working team.
