Games

Below are the games that I’ve worked on. Each has a brief description of the game (such as what the game was for and my role in making it) as well as a video showcasing the game play.

For most of these projects, I used Unity as the game engine, although I have experience in Godot, and either Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code for the coding IDE.

A Lonely Rogue

This is my current solo project. The main goal of this project is to learn how to use Godot.

The software that I used for this were Godot for the game engine and Aseprite for the art.

This is a work in progress current and a link to download it has not been posted yet.

Tidy Ocean

I led a team of 5 over a 2-day period to create a trash collection game.

This was for the Climate Change Game Jam 2024. The game was awarded “Best Ocean Themed Game” and “Best Original Soundtrack”. I was the project lead and a programmer for this game.

The software that I used for this were Unity for the game engine and Visual Studio for the code.

The link for the game is on Itch.io here.

Everon

Everon was an uncompleted solo project I worked on during the summer of 2023.

It was made to be a recreation of a game from my childhood called Vesteria but I had to stop working on it due to schoolwork. The base mechanics of the game were finished and are shown in the video.

The software that I used for this were Unity, Visual Studio Code, Blender for the 3D modeling, and GIMP for the 2D assets.

The link for the game is on my GitHub here.

We Need to Talk

I led a team of 5 over a 2-day period to create a digital card game.

This was for the Global Game Jam 2024 and the theme was “Make me laugh”. I was the project lead and one of the three programmers for this game. The idea was to parody content creator apology videos.

The software that I used for this were Unity for the game engine and Visual Studio for the coding.

The link for the game is on the GGJ page here.

Mimicry

I led a team of 7 over a semester to create a monster collection turn-based RPG.

This was for a semester project for one of our classes. I was the project lead, the 2D artist, and one of the programmers for this project.

The software that I used for this were Unity for the game engine, Visual Studio Code for coding, and GIMP for the 2D assets.

The link for the game is on my GitHub here.
