GUARDIAN OF THE GEARS
Unreal Engine 4 | Best Senior Game
Guardian of the Gears is a 3D puzzle adventure game where you navigate and control an interactive environment in order to breathe life back into a decaying world.
Created in Unreal Engine 4, I was the gameplay and UX "programmer", as well as the technical designer and producer on this project. What I worked on was almost exclusively through UE4 built-in tools and Blueprints. Here are some examples of what I did:
This project helped me to realize that my passion actually isn't only programming/scripting, but also designing and directly interacting with other designers to create the best experience for the players as possible.

- Saved time by prefabbing blueprints for other designers to easily tweak values and quickly place them in the world.
- Prototyped and polished several levels, puzzles, and other level elements.
- Worked directly with other designers and content creators to solve unique level design problems created by our puzzle mechanic.
- Created all menus (and many HUD elements), that switch fluidly between controller and keyboard/mouse.
- Planned and scheduled development milestones, and distributed tasks for the design, content, and programming teams.

ANIMUS FAULT
C++ with Lua integration | Best Junior Game
Animus Fault is a 3D, first person, arcade shooter, is built from scratch using a custom built engine/editor. On this project I was the producer and engine programmer, writing such systems as Lua integration, object/component management, serialization, and other architecture to improve gameplay creation and iteration. As the producer, I delegated tasks, ran meetings, and scheduled deadlines for a team of 16 people. I was also the major contributor to gameplay and design, writing the player controller, weapon functionality, and player abilities in Lua.
I worked closely with our graphics programmers to create gameplay in a way that would highlight our visual effects and graphical power. It was my job to implement how all enemies and weapons react to the realm switch as it emanates from the player. I also modeled numerous environment props and designed all levels for the game. These experiences have given me insight into the work of a designer, as well as the flow of an art pipeline.
