Archison is the nick I’ve been using for the last years for both my apps and my music.

I’m a developer who’s been focused on Android development for the last few years, who also likes creating music, apps and games (and ☕).

When I was starting my computer engineering degree, I created an Android game called Random Adventure Roguelike. I started it to improve my coding skills and also as a tribute to the old-school text adventure games, mixed with the roguelike genre, with rpg elements, crafting, etc… As soon as I published it and I saw it had some attraction for certain type of gamers, I continued improving the game for some months and years.

At some point, because I had started the project when I didn’t know much about development, I realised the code was a mess and I needed to create a new game from the ground to make it better. That was around two years ago (writing this on mid October, 2019). In the last few months, I’ve been able to work full-time on the game so I finally have been able to publish it! Yay! 🎉

It’s been almost three weeks since I uploaded it and I couldn’t be happier! People have been giving me good feedback, ideas, suggestions, etc… and I’m still working full time on it (until my savings are gone or I start working in a new company, that’s for sure 😄).

A part of all the ideas for Random Adventure Roguelike II, I have other ideas and projects in mind, which I hope I can share with you all in this web, in the RAR subreddit and/or the Discord channel.

Since I was a kid I’ve always been attracted to the creation of music. I studied a little bit of piano when I was a kid, and also played in a rock band the bass guitar.

At some point I started toying around with some music creation software to create some electronic music on my own, and I’ve been doing that since forever. I have some of my music on Soundcloud.

I composed the music for both RAR games and I recently uploaded RAR II’s soundtrack on Youtube.

My career as a developer started at a big fashion retail company. There, I worked as a java backender, and, after 3 years I was given the opportunity to be part of the new Apps team in the same company, focused on the Android part. After 2 more years, we grew to be a team of more than 10 people, I learnt a lot and at some point I was prepared to take the next step.

After that, I worked at Genioo, a very small company with very big people on it, were I learnt much more than I could imagine. We created an Android App from the ground up focused on giving people the chance to consult real experts via chat in different topics in exchange for a small fee. It was a great experience and, sadly, even though there were some consultations going on, it wasn’t enough and we had to close (although we’re still friends with the founders 🍻).

Best, Luis
