Hi, I’m Raphael Dias.
Software Developer | Game Development | Godot & GDScript
I develop software at Radix and I’m working toward a career in game development. My independent project, ONE MORE DASH, brings together my interests in gameplay programming and game systems, alongside my experience in backend engineering.
Independent project · In development
One dash. One hit. Keep the chain going.
A top-down action roguelite built in Godot 4 with GDScript. Dash through enemies to eliminate them and instantly recharge your dash. Chain hits to keep moving; a miss leaves you slow and exposed. One-hit combat makes every decision count.
Demo coming soon on itch.io
The systems I’m building, and the engineering decisions behind them.
Successful hits refill the dash; misses trigger a slowdown and cooldown. Slow-motion aiming and wall rebounds make positioning part of the combat loop.
Enemies share navigation with A* paths around obstacles. Boss encounters add their own attack cycles, telegraphs and vulnerability windows.
Multiple areas and room layouts frame each run. Upgrade choices and shops change the player’s build, while boss victories unlock further progression.
Godot scenes and shared enemy and boss base classes centralize damage, status effects and defeat signals, keeping individual behaviors separate.
Three JSON save slots track unlocks and long-term progress. Backward-compatible defaults preserve older saves; settings stay separate. Active runs are not saved.
GDScript tests run without the game window and cover shared enemy contracts, gameplay rules and save behavior. Test profiles keep player save files untouched.
Web applications, backend systems and AI tools that show the other side of my engineering work.

I’m an Information Systems undergraduate at Universidade Federal Fluminense and a Software Development Apprentice at Radix. I enjoy understanding how systems work and turning that understanding into something people can use or play.
Alongside my professional software work, I’m developing ONE MORE DASH independently in Godot. I want to keep growing in gameplay programming, game systems and backend engineering, and bring that experience to a game development team.
Professional software development, university learning and an introduction to building games together.
EXPERIENCE
CurrentApplication development with TypeScript, migrations, backend and database integrations, and testing, collaborating with international teams.
EXPERIENCE
Progressed from trainee to backend developer, building REST APIs with Node.js and TypeScript, collaborating on software projects and integrating AI services.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
Participated in Godot and game design training through DJUFF, a university extension project at UFF. Joined the early development of a game jam project, then left when I started my professional role at Radix.
EDUCATION
CurrentOngoing Information Systems degree focused on software and technology.
EDUCATION
CompletedTechnical education that strengthened my analytical mindset and process culture.
Game development first, supported by a broader software engineering toolkit.
Node.js · Spring Boot · React · PostgreSQL · MySQL · MongoDB · SQLite · AWS · Azure · HTML · CSS
I’m interested in software engineering and game development opportunities, especially gameplay, game systems and backend work. Let’s talk.
