Soulclef is an indie 2D action platformer with rogue lite elements that I started during my final semester of university. Team Afterlife I lead the project as the creative director, lead developer, and designer. I previously managed a team of 12 and currently work with a team of 2. 

Gameplay Programming

• • Enhanced the player combat system with attack-combo and ability integration, expanding combat functionality. 

  • Designed sprite animation logic that adds expressive character actions tied to player movement and combat. 

  • Designed a spline-based warp system that moves players to hidden or blocked areas. 

  • Implemented Unity Event puzzle logic that triggers cutscenes revealing hidden paths. 

  • Redesigned a player interaction system for 2D environments, adapting existing functionality from a previous project.  (Player Interact Script)

  • Designed a persistent inventory system using Scriptable Objects to manage and update item data throughout the game loop. 

UI Programming

• • Implemented a real-time player UI that updates item quantities using persistent inventory data.

  • Enhanced the dialogue editor tool to integrate with in-game triggers. 

  • Designed a rhythm-based puzzle system requiring timed inputs to reveal hand signs matching displayed solfege runes.
