PROJECTS
Samurais Last Stand - 3D Top-down, Fast-paced Action Game
Samurais Last Stand is a game I created in Unity and was the focus of a challenge I set for myself to create a playable game in a week as part of a game-jam like idea. In this game you play as a samurai character defending yourself from the many enemies falling from the sky by deflecting the projectiles back at them.
- Used C# in the Unity game engine
- Programmed all systems
- Designed and made UI assets
- Increased familiarity with Unity's systems including the animator
- Improved my ability to work towards a goal in a short amount of time in an organised way
​
En-gauge - 2D Physics-based Platforming Game
En-gauge is a 2D platforming game demo I created together with other programmers, artists, and designers in which the player must go through each level using their shotgun weapon to propel themselves in various directions. I mainly worked on implementing the asset manager and our 2D collision System.
- Utilized C++ and DirectX12 for development in Visual Studio
- Designed and implemented a Resource Manager class that handled loading of game assets
- Designed and implemented the 2D collision system for our game
- Helped design gameplay where players use a shotgun to propel through maps
- Enhanced teamwork and source control management skills
- Conducted frequent small scrum meetings for effective communication and problem-solving
