Notables

• Built game for Android, PC, and XBox One.
• Incorporated third party SteamWorks.NET for Unity, to allow for publication to the steam store with achievements.
• Used Generic variables with Unity’s “ToJSON” functionality to handle saving and loading player data and pc settings.
• Used Flyweight Design Pattern to handle different UI menus through a master UI script, that switches between Menus.
• Used Unity’s TextMeshPro to create a typewriter effect on screen when players switch between menus.

Knighty Night is a 3D, linear dungeon crawler where you play as a knight trying to escape the dark dungeon they have been trapped in. With ghosts barring your path you must defend yourself and defeat bosses with only your trusty sword and wits!

Notables

• Brought on two other programmers mid-development, walking them through script logic in the beginning and reviewing each others code regularly.
• Used Flyweight Structural design within UI allowing UI to work independently, while still able to be turned on and off by a MasterUI script.
• Traps and other non-player gameplay was made easily accessible and configurable by Designers by serializing private variables inside of Unity’s Inspector.
• Collaborated with Designers to create and program 5 Unique Bosses, each with their own sets of attacks that were tweaked and balanced by Level Designers.
• Worked closely with Animation, helping import and tween animations in-engine so that I could programmatically change animations that reflect Player Inputs and A.I. Behaviors

The Hand That Feeds is a 3D, hack-and-slash where you battle hordes of enemies trying to free yourself from a cursed sword. You must cut, dash, and combo your way through ominous, demon infested levels to reach victory.

Notables

• Created Hit-detection within combo animations, using a raycast coming from the players sword model, based on orientation of where the blade was pointing.
• Collaborated with multiple Animators and help design Multiple Special Attacks for player combos, to help promote differing play-styles in players.
• Used Unity’s Profiler to find and fix framerate issues.
• Helped fix tweening problems with animations not syncing up with player inputs in-engine, as well as hiccups in enemy AI behaviors.

Booze Brawl was created with a team of 7 during the Chico State Local Game Jam, the theme being “Influence.”

In Booze Brawl you must fight for as long as you can against Bros while trying to have a fun night at the bar. The game’s main mechanic is fighting while drinking beer, which makes you stronger. The one drawback is that players lose control of the camera depending on how much they have had to drink. It is a simple yet fun first-person brawler that was fun to make with my friends.

Notables

• Designed a two-hand system, where players can control their in-game hands separately with the mouse buttons, which creates some crazy hijinks
• Created System where the random movement of the camera would talk to the “PlayerCamera” scripts so that, once the player has drank it would slowly ramp up the screen shake dependent on how much the player has had.
• Enemy AI was created to be reactive so that, if the player or another AI would hit them, their current targets would change, making for MORE mayhem the MORE you swing wildly.
