rOjo

| Unity | June 2023 | Horror Puzzle-Platformer |

Programmed the animation of the photorealistic eyes.

Used state machine code to make creepy transitions of the eyes.

The eye is able to “spot” the player by calculating whether or not the player is in the range of a cone mesh.

Utilized the angle of the direction from the eye to the player, so that the eye looks like it is tracking the player.

Coded a function so that the eye can smoothly “look at” a direction by giving it custom angle values.

Coded a coroutine function that makes the eye “look” back and forth from where the player hid.

rOjo, is a psychological horror 2D platformer that involves evading hyperphotorealistic eyes in a black, white, and red world.

Sebastien (from Belle et Sebastien) in an open field with Studio Ghibli-esque Trees~

| Maya3D & Unity | March 2022 | Adventure Game |

This is a project I made learning about Maya Autodesk.

This was a passion-project prototype to try my hand into level design and 3D modeling through an industry standard 3D modeling software. One of the dream games that I'd like to make is to recreate the world and narrative of the 1980s World Masterpiece Theatre anime Belle et Sebastien. I made this model using quad-based polygon shapes and sculpted using a personal hand-drawn reference of Sebastien from Belle and Sebastien.
