About

I am Can Çelenay, also known as Brogolem35. The sole owner of this blog.

I am an aspiring game developer from Turkey that enjoys developing stuff using Rust, Godot, or both at the same time.

I love low-level development. I love C. I love Rust. I hate (but tolerate) C++.

Skills and Projects

Godot:

Been using Godot for 3 years, around the time Unity did the runtime fee thingy.

I mostly developed 2D pixel-art games. godot-rust, my beloved.

Games I worked on:

• Flame Up: A simplified fighting game with rollback netcode published on Steam. Uses godot-rust.
• Botsies: Reimplementation of Footsies, made for reinforcement learning training. Uses godot-rust.
• Chunk And Hunger: 2D puzzle survival game made for the Ludum Dare 54.
• P.H.A.N.T.O.M.: Top-down puzzle game made for the Mağara Jam 2023.
• Stealth Strike: Stealth puzzle game made for the Jamination 7 game jam.
• AlonzoTech: Roguelike factory/deck builder made for the EGGJAM.
• Django: UnStabled: Survivors-like game made for Jamination 8 game jam. Uses godot-rust.

Rust:

Also been using Rust for 3 years. Because my mother tongue was C, Rust did not feel foreign at all.

I have published 2 crates on crates.io:

• markov_str: Markov Chain text generator. Can be serialized and deserialized through serde.
• wcount: CLI word counting tool.

I wrote a YouTube Music frontend named Eartube.

Like I mentioned in the Godot section, I also use Rust to code GdExtensions:

• Flame Up
• Botsies
• Django: UnStabled

I have some experience programming backend servers with axum. Mostly for my university projects.

• markov-chain-backend: Based on a very old version of the markov_str.

Node.js

I have experience developing Discord bots:

• kawga-bot: Discord bot to organize fighting game hosting. It is currently used in Turkish Meltycord.

I made backends for hobby and university projects with Express.js.

C and C++

Casual C enjoyer.

Have decent experience with Arduino and ESP32.

Godot contributor.

Unity

My first game engine. I have some not-so-fond memories with it.

Games I worked on:

• Attack on Turtle: A 2D puzzle platformer made for the Jamination 6 game jam within 48 hours.
• Valley of the Horse: A top-down puzzle action game made for the GMTK Game Jam within 48 hours.

I also worked on a game that was used to showcase our DEU POG student club.

C#

Programmed backend servers on my internship using ASP.NET.

Like mentioned before, I have experience with Unity.

How did I, a frontend buffoon, make this site?

Hugo. It even has support for RSS, which was a big deal for me.

The theme was made by me, with some components I gathered around. The site source can be found here.

The site is currently hosted on GitHub Pages.
