I am a
I am Wendy Broeckx AKA Shadowsun. I work as an indie game developer since 2014 and I am really passionate about it. Curious by nature, I love learning new things, improving my skills, and sharing my knowledge.
With Anaïs Berly, I founded Maratus in April 2020. We specialize in narrative games, taking place in a universe created by Anaïs: Var'Nagal. As a Technical Director, I have to deal with many tasks on a daily basis: dev, tech-art, game design, debug, webdev, etc. As co-Founder I also share the common task of running the company.
I highly value sensitivity, communication, teamplay/teamwork, benevolence, kindness and inclusivity. This reflects in my life, my work and in Maratus virtues.
When I have time, I like to make prototypes and experimental features such as holographic games or experiences. I like to discover the new features of Unity whenever they update the engine and sometimes, I lose myself in Amplify making shaders.
In between projects, I am available to work for hire or as a freelancer. Below, you'll find the services and skills I can provide. Do not hesitate to contact me even if I am currently on a project; We are a small company so I might be able to make space in my planning.
That is my main skill set! I am very proficient in C# and with Unity workflow as they have been my everyday tools for more that 7 years.
I love - and am experienced in - making different tools in Unity. From simple Inspector views to more complex and customized windowed tools, I tend to put myself in other's shoes to see how I can improve their workflow.
I have some experience in shaders and tricks in Unity to make games more juicier and more appealing. I feel comfier with Amplify regarding shaders.
As a Game Designer, I specialize more in the technical and long term aspects. I am available for providing consulting, advices and support on any production scale.
I can make websites using a mix of Html/CSS and PHP. I specialize in one-pagers but If the challenge or the idea triggers my interests, I might be willing to do almost anything web-related.
If it fits with our values, Maratus is open to any partnership that requires a Narrative Designer and/or a Developer.

I am currently maintaining the updates on ARISEN: our brand new game we just released in Early Access on Steam. I am available to work for hire and/or external contracts in the coming months.
Curious and eager to learn and improve my skills, I work as indie game developer, technical artist and game designer and sometimes I make experimental things or teach Unity as lecturer.
