A Top Down Action RPG made for the 2023 Brackeys Game Jam.

Fight through waves of varied A.I. enemies using a basic RPG style skill system.

​

Examples of features and functionality included in this project:

​

  • A.I. enemies that function off of a customized state machine.

    • A coffee cup that chases and melee attacks the player.

    • A doughnut that shoots damaging sprinkles toward the player.

    • A macaron tower boss battle that spawns falling macarons all over the room.

  • A modular Character Skill system using scriptable objects and prefabs that allows for expanded functionality for both the player and enemies.

  • A dynamic camera using Cinemachine and custom scripts allowing the player to pan using the mouse and zoom using the scroll wheel.

  • A User Interface including:

    • Player health

    • Pause Screen​

    • Skill cooldowns and icons

​

This project was designed and developed over the course of a single week in a team of 13 individuals. Some assets and code were made in the preceding weeks, but were customized and implemented during the GameJam.

Petri Pete

A top down action game focused on a small alien organism named Petri Pete. Utilizing a very cute art style and rogue-lite style gameplay with randomized events and a point system.

​

Examples of features and functionality included in this project:

​

  • Randomized events ranging from deadly acid to swarms of viral pathogens​

  • Custom Unity editors to streamline implementation of A.I..

  • A dynamic Debuff system using scriptable objects allowing for objects to apply debuffs to characters and track their effects.

  • Randomized Events that add replayability and dynamic environments

  • A User Interface styled after computer data entry programs visualising:

    • Player health

    • Events and debuffs

    • Functioning minimap

​

​This project was designed and developed in a single week. Some assets and code were reused from previous projects, but were customized, expanded, and implemented during the GameJam. I served as the Lead Developer, Designer, and Project Manager with a team of 5+ individuals.

​

I additionally designed a plugin for Unity using C++ for this project that would have allowed additional application windows to be open and managed by Unity, but was scrapped due to technical limitations as well as in favor of a WebGL format.

​

Note: The scope necessary to continue this project is beyond my current capabilities, I have however learned an immense amount from the experience.

Rusty Rampage

A Top Down Shooter Rogue-like made for the 2023 GMTK Game Jam.

​

  • A.I. enemies that function off of a customized state machine.

  • A modular Character Ability system that allows for expanded functionality for both the player and enemies.

  • 4 unique upgrade effects that stack infinitely, chosen after a UI timer reaches 0.
