Sandalo Espino Villanueva

I am the founder of Thunder Noise Studio, a game development outsourcing company that has been providing professional pixel art and game assets to national and international clients for over two years. Our studio specializes in high-quality 2D art, animation, and game asset production, offering tailored solutions for indie projects. I oversee client relations, project management, and creative direction, ensuring that we deliver top-tier content that meets industry standards. With a strong understanding of market trends and game development pipelines, I ensure that our studio remains competitive and continuously evolves to meet the needs of our clients.

I worked on Hat Swap City as a Pixel Art Specialist, contributing to the artistic design of this unique metaverse. My role involved creating high-quality pixel art and voxel art, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing experience. I played a key role in shaping different elements of the virtual world, maintaining consistency in style and execution. My contributions helped enhance the game’s atmosphere and aesthetics, ensuring an engaging and immersive player experience. My ability to adapt between pixel and voxel styles allowed me to bring creative and innovative solutions to the project.

Currently, I am working with Phat Games LLC as a Pixel Art Game Artist, where I am responsible for creating a wide range of assets, including animations, characters, environments, and UI elements. Additionally, I handle level design inside Unity, ensuring that the environments are visually appealing while complementing the gameplay experience. My role requires close collaboration with developers and designers to maintain a smooth workflow and bring the game’s artistic vision to life. With a deep understanding of retro aesthetics and modern pixel art techniques, I continuously strive to improve the overall visual quality of the game.
