Winter's Dawn

Winter's Dawn is solo academic project made over a few weeks, made using PIXI-JS, HTML-5 and CSS. The premise of this game is that the player must survive as long as they can, racking up score by advancing.

Test of Wills

Test of Wills was a class group project that I worked on in a team of 4. Within this game the player must survive against different bosses in a bullet-hell environment. The game was programmed in C#, using Monogame as the engine. I organized and led the group, and designed the architecture of the game. Throughout the project, I was responsible for much of the programming, primarily gameplay, system architecture and data loading systems.

Tilt Labyrinth

Tilt Labyrinth is a mobile marble maze game made within a team of 4. I was responsible for the input system of the game. I took advantage of the phones gyroscope technology. Allowing the user to tilt their phone to move the ball. Furthermore, I implemented a jump, which was activated by rapidly moving the phone up or down.

Arcaniac

Arcaniac is a Doom-like Wizard FPS, where the player combines spells to defeat foes. I was responsible for the spell systems, minimap, and the level implementation of the game. The spell system used scriptable objects to dynamically combine elements and spelltypes to create unique spell combinations.

Blood on the Snow

Blood on the Snow was a level that I created within Halo Infinite's Forge tool. It takes inspiration from older Halo levels, with clear linear design based and driving sections. The level length is around 10 minutes in total. I used the Forge's AI features as well as a heavy dose of scripting to create a unique experience. Note: Many of the assets within the level are from Infinite's Community Files.
