The Puzzler

UI/UX Programmer

This is the final school project of my educational career. It was originally built for Console release, then modified for release on Steam. I programmed mostly the UI/UX aspects for the game. I made all the menus and the outlines for the puzzles and interactable objects. I was also in charge of making the game's trailer. I also helped with some puzzle creation. I am very proud of my team that we stuck with it and polished the game to completion.

Pokémon Remake: Not Just a Yellow Rat

This is my Game Engine III final project. I was required to make a turn-based 2D video game. My partner and I decided to remake Pokémon. I was in charge of character animations in the overworld, and the random encounters of the wild Pokémon. I was also responsible for the saving and loading of the character and the Pokémon's stats. Additionally I was responsible for the animations of the battle system.

Cells At War

Biology learning game for post-graduate students. This was a collaborative game with George Brown College and McMaster University's Biology post-graduate program. Accurate biology references for students to learn. I was responsible for the RER minigame. I worked on loading the predetermined list of anticodons from a txt file. Also, the animations of the tRNA_Arm on a failed combination, and the decoupling on correct combinations. I also programmed the functionality of the snake. I was in charge of the main menu and end scene.

Bladebound: Rise of Beasts

This is a group project for my Mobile Gaming I course. I was required to make a platformer. I was in charge of all the main character and all enemy animations. Also responsible for the design of level 1. In addition, I was responsible for the functionality of the main menu and pause screen for the game.

Operation Takeback

This was a solo project for my Mobile Game Development I course. This is an arcade game with no gravity or physics. I made a top-down bullet hell shooter. This game is 100% my creation (other than the sprites I used). I programmed the entire project.

Purple (2024)

Gameplay/AI Programmer

A student-made Unreal Engine 5 project geared for the Level Up Showcase. I programmed the switch systems (the game's main focus) and the enemy AI. I worked on Purple while studying at George Brown College.
