Inventory System
My specialization during the second year at The Game Assembly. A modular inventory system made in our student made engine to be used in game projects by Water Leaks (an interdisciplinary student game studio).
Ui Editor Tool
My own Ui Editor made in our own engine with the goal of making UI Layouts easy and time effective to create for our Graphic Designers and exporting these layouts to our engine to be used in our games. It has helped us speed up the process of creating customized UI for games created by Water Leaks (an interdisciplinary student game studio).
Games highlight
Unbound
A 2D puzzle platform adventure! This is definitively the project I'm most proud of. We made this game in 13 weeks at the Game Assembly. I had the pleasure of creating the animation system, working closely with the animators and learning about their process. I also worked collectible system and environmental hazards.
Spite: Bleeding Skies
A Diablo 3-inspired action game! This is my most recent game project. It's the first project we did in our own student created engine. My primary contributions are enemy AI, breakables and VFX shader implementation.
