Entity framework-inspired SQLite ORM and generic DB repository manager.

GRU is both an ORM for SQLlite and an in-editor database manager. It allows to have query data with LINQ, set up foreign key relationships, and manage data with entity-framework-like syntax.

GRU supports using foreign keys and entity-framework-like syntaxes, unlike many other SQLite assets. It works on many different platforms and probably covers 99% of users' data management needs, regardless of the type of project they're working on. Whether a mobile app that handles user data or an inventory system for a PC game, GRU will have them covered.

It detects DB table classes in assemblies and then auto-generates DB repositories and interfaces accordingly. It comes with various editor extensions and helpers that allow users to integrate with popular third-party DB tools.

The loosely coupled codebase was written using one of the best practices and industry standards, making it easy for developers to extend and customize its features even further if needed.

A framework/project that I developed for Elektro Biro, a company in the field of electrical engineering, located in Zagreb, Croatia.

Their clients, power stations all over the country, had employees that struggled with learning the complex plant-related procedures during their training period. This is where I helped them with my solution.

I developed a toolkit/framework inside Unity that allows for the quick development of complex training scenarios so that—once exported from Unity—can be used by the employees for speedier learning. It was made in a game-like style, which makes it a fun tool to use and learn from.

Universal Inventory System is a framework I developed for the Unity game engine. It lets users quickly implement inventory, crafting, and equipment systems with character stats in any project.

Because of its modularity and flexibility, it can be implemented in any Unity project with just a couple of drag-and-drop actions. It works both in 2D and 3D projects and comes with mobile support. A complete list of features is available on the virtual store.

I developed a story-based (point-n-click with smaller interactions) game that I coded during a 48-hour game jam in Novska, as a part of Global Game Jam 2019. My colleague created 2D graphics (sprites) and UI, while I was responsible for the coding, animations and music. We won the best game design award for this game.

You can read more about this game on the official GGJ link above. There you can also download and try the game yourself.

I developed a tool that allows artists to make 3D comics and stories inside Unity.

Before that, the whole process of building asset bundles was manual. The tool automates it, making it easy for artists/game designers to focus more on the content.

The client was Figurama, a company from Slovakia.

I built a HoloLens application that simulates 2D and 3D water jet cuttings. I developed it for STM, an Austrian company that designs and manufactures CNC water jet cutters. The demo app was used on a trade show where they showcased their machines and products.

The project was developed in Unity. A video preview of the application demo is available at the link above (Google Drive).

Two colleagues and I developed this 3D, Android, space RPG for the finals of the App Start Contest in 2017: Croatia's biggest competition in application development for university students. My responsibility was coding, which was done in Unity and C#, while two of my colleagues did 3D models and sounds.

In this game, you are the captain of a space ship that one day encounters bird-like creatures called Chickitkies. After hearing their story (the game's intro level), you take them with you to help them fight their arch enemy, the Morkidor. You do that by flying through the space, finishing daily quests, visiting planets and more.

The game had procedural generation of stars, inventory, and crafting system, quest system, in-app purchases, and more.
The gameplay can be viewed in the video at the Google Drive link above.

Language Translator is a Unity project, an app suitable for mobile devices that can translate texts between 30 different languages (English, German, Spanish, Italian, Croatian, and Japanese are just some of them) with an option of adding new ones as well.

At the time of publishing, it was even showcased at the Unity Asset Store. Initially, I did it as a final project for a subject back in college days.
