Mack "Rixitic" Charnecki
Indie dev, artist, composer
Hi there! I'm an oddball in my early 30s from Texas who likes making video games and the things that go in them, especially music and boss fights!

More about me
While I specialize in game music and boss design, I do a decent amount of graphic design, programming, and pixel art as well. I've also dabbled in everything from creative writing to photography, mid-poly 3D modeling and animation, sound design, web widget and (non-LLM) chatbot development, and video editing! Here's my resume if you're interested.
Aside from making things, I also enjoy gathering and sharing resources & learning materials. One of my goals in life is to help raise awareness of the vast amounts of free knowledge and tools available for game development & other crafts, and do my part in making them as accessible to everyone as possible.
I'm currently looking for part-time, remote opportunities to collaborate with a team on projects (games or software). I've taken lead roles in past projects, though I prefer hands-on work and assisting others over managerial duties. I'm also not as knowledgeable in any language, field, or software as a specialized developer, but I enjoy learning on the job. If you think I'd be a good fit for your company or team, please get in touch!
Excellent things in life

Hatsun (A2XT Gaiden 2, 2021)
A marathon boss developed with help from Enjl to serve as the final exam fight of the Christmas-themed fan game A2XT Gaiden 2. Each phase of the fight uses a small set of elements to recreate or reinterpret iconic attacks from various bosses raocow has fought at some point in his Youtube career.
Sophia (MaFAB2 contest winner, 2019/2021)
A two-phase boss fight I developed in collaboration with pixel artist Chaoxys as an entry for the 2nd Make a Fun Awesome Boss Contest. I came up with the core concept, and programmed the fight, Chaoxys did the character design and made most of the original graphical assets, and we designed the attacks together. This boss won 1st place out of 24 total entries.

A scrolling shooter-esque boss fight I made for the Christmas-themed fan game SANICS: A2XT Gaiden.

The first boss of the fan game Subzero Heroes. I designed the character and encounter, then worked together with the project's lead developer, Enjl, to implement it in the game.
Supreme Death Overload Reggie (Super Community Contest winner, 2017)
The boss fight in my SMBX Super Community Contest entry. This boss helped the level place 1st out of 46 total entries.
