Hi, I am Cody and I am a graduate Games Programmer with a Bachelor of Games Development and Design from SAE Creative Institute.
My specialisation is in programming, but I have great interest and understanding in other aspects including 3d modelling, music composition, and art. This range of experience and proficiency allows me to easily bridge and communicate between these roles on a project.
I've taken the lead programmer role in several projects, programming both fundamental systems and user interface aspects.
My most recent project is Nexus Private Investigations, a noir, first-person, dimension-jumping detective game that was released on Steam.

I worked as the sole programmer and tech artist on this project in a team of 5. This project required me to develop a dimension-swapping player controller, sectional Async Level loading, modular player abilities that all interact with each other, as well as a range of puzzle and world elements and mechanics.
Spacefarer
Spacefarer
Spacefarer is a simulation resource management game where the player follows the steps to terraform another planet. The game is also an educational exploration game that is set in space that teaches about different things you can find in a galaxy and how they came to be. The game switches between being an isometric 3D game (similar to Simcity and city skylines) and a first-person 3D game.
I worked as the sole programmer on this project in a team of three, and programmed an educational 3D isometric space station builder system in the style of city skylines. This included resource management and modular construction.
Escapism is a 2D Psychological Horror Combat Platformer about a teenage girl who struggles with ADHD, anxiety and depression and who plays video games to dissociate and escape from the problems in her life.

I worked as the sole programmer on this project in a team of three, to make a 2D platformer game with enemy combat and a boss battle, including a second "real life' section with a custom dialogue system and text message dialogue system, with branching narrative affects. Also required programming toward sprite manipulation for glitch affects etc.

Bird's New Friend
Bird's New Friend
This was a solo project made in a week, in which I created a meaningful story game prototype using only diegetic information and UI. I programmed the full player movement, and the simple astronaut AI to create a story, a camera system with sky smoothing and shared focus modes to enhance the story with basic cinematography. I also composed 4 tracks of music for this game.

This was a solo project made in a week, I programmed a simple tile-based sokoban system for pushing boxes, and introduced a tank shooting system as the twist of the game. I also made pixel art for the tanks and boxes of the game.
