Team Projects
Description: 3D platformer with puzzle elements
Created menus for core functionalities like graphics settings, sound settings, localization, and key rebinding.
Collaborated with artists to integrate UI assets and effects into the game.
Worked with Unreal Engine's Common UI plugin to deliver menus with full keyboard and controller support.
Supported gameplay programmers by incorporating game mechanic conveyance into reusable Unreal Engine widgets.
Description: Futuristic arcade racing game
Refined the kart physics and controls for the game, tuning behavior to the requests of level designers and the game designer.
Implemented major mechanics like drifting, anti-gravity driving, and kart collisions.
Worked with other programmers to keep the kart interactions with the tracks and items stable.
Utilized a mix of realistic kinematics and gamified logic to produce a kart that felt fast, fun and easy to control.
Description: 2D platformer with color puzzles
Set up the levels to change modular colored obstacles
Created customizable prefabs for easy level creation incorporating Level Designer feedback
Programmed the game state behavior and level logic
individual Projects
