Levente Hadházi - Game Dev Portfolio

About

I'm a software engineer by trade and game developer by passion, with a background in both enterprise systems and game programming. While I work professionally in data and infrastructure during the day, I'm busy honing my skills and grinding away at game projects in my free time. I'm currently working on Gruntz Unityverse, a fan remake of the 1999 cult classic Gruntz, blending retro gameplay with modern tooling.

Game Projects

Unannounced Game (yet 😜)

Unity | C# | 2025-Present

Here comes something familiar, yet also different... Stay tuned!

Gruntz Unityverse

Unity | C# | 2022-Present

Bigger, better, and more ambitious than ever, this is a proper comeback for Gruntz! I'm rebuilding the experience with the power of C#, the freedom given by Unity, and the help of the great people keeping this game alive even after almost 30 years: the Gruntz community.

Huge thanks to GooRoo's Gruntz Forum and the Gruntz Universe - your passion and creativity keep the world of Gruntz alive and kicking. ❤️

Electronic Gruntz (Prototype)

Electron | TypeScript | 2022

My initial cross-platform reimagination of Gruntz, this project helped me explore both the potential and the limitations of web-based game programming. Despite being shelved, this project informed architectural decisions for my current Unity-based version, and will always remain my first foray into the wonderful world of game development.

An actual working web-based remake is available online called Dizgruntled on GitHub, made by fellow Gruntz-fan Hugh Collins. Go check it out and cause some chaos!

Skills & Strengths

Code fluency

Most of my background comes from C#, while I'm also familiar with Python, and comfortable switching to other scripting languages such as Bash, JavaScript, or TypeScript. I'm especially fond of expressive and simple code and a sucker for clean architecture (even though I myself may not be the best of architects).

Game Engines & Tools

I've been using Unity for a few years now, working with both 2D and 3D workflows in my spare time. I'm not quite a guru yet, but good work takes time - (and worse takes more, or so they say 😉). I've also dabbled in Unreal Engine, so I'm somewhat familiar with that side of the road as well.

DevOps Experience

I work daily with Azure and AWS, contributing to the development and maintenance of an enterprise data platform. I also enjoy learning how infrastructure and automation come together to support reliable, scalable systems.

Languages I speak or learn

I'm a native Hungarian,

English is my working language,

I have a strong understanding of German (a bit rusty with speaking),

I have a conversational knowledge of Dutch,

and I plan to dig into some Spanish in the future.

Contact & Online Presence

I'm always open to connecting with fellow devs! Feel free to reach out if you're interested!
