A little bit about myself

My name is Sakis, I'm an indie games developer from Greece. I started game development as a hobby in early 2005 with Game Maker. I was one of the first developers back then who give more focus on 3D games using Game Maker (which is mostly for 2D games).
Most people may know me from Game Maker Community (with username sakisa) as the creator of the games Crimelife, Guns & Spurs, Mythology, Super Smash Battle and many more.
Now I'm using Unity3D to make games for iOS and Android. My most recent game 'Angel in Danger' which is a 3D platformer is published by Crescent Moon Games for iOS and Android.

In my real job I work as a web developer for a company here in Greece. I know C#, Javascript, html, css, php. I also work as a graphics artist and I also design the graphics for my own games (2D and 3D).
Today game development is my second job, still with the same passion and excitement.

'Mythology' Trailer 1



The current project I'm working on is a 3rd Person Action/Adventure game based on the Greek mythology. The main protagonist of the game is a little boy with the name Timaeus.
Coming soon...

I did this trailer to show you how the game looks and plays. Everything is from early work in progress. Many things may change in the final version.
Sorry for the bad framerate, it's because of the slow video capturing program I used.

New game, help needed!

3D Artists needed.
I was looking for experienced people to work on 3D models including characters, monsters, various objects and environments.
The current project I'm working on is a 3rd Person Action/Adventure game (title to be announced ) based on Greek mythology and I will need more people to help me with the game and even for future projects as a team member of the 'Sakis25 Games'.
(In game credits will be given of course)

The 3d models must be in low-poly quality (max 250-500 polys per model) but with nice looking textures (256x256 px)

Some screenshots from my current game:




NOTE: Please send me a personal message with some samples (pictures or 3D models) of your work at the gmc.yoyogames.com.
