Hello! My name is Kaikas, and i'm a professional programmer. My passion is making computer games and so i founded o9games to make those dreams reality. With a small team we create awesome games.

GAMES

Unreal Engine

These days i work professionally with Unreal Engine, building procedural world generation with Voxel Plugin and gameplay systems in Blueprints.

SHOWCASE

A look behind the scenes of my current Unreal Engine work: a fully procedural world built on the Voxel Plugin, biome generation and gameplay systems in Blueprints. Every screenshot below is straight out of the editor. Click any image for the full resolution.
