Kingdom Building

---

I created this game over a week of my freetime during Summer while I was looking for an internship.
I used Unity to create this game. Credit goes to Kenny for most of the assets, but I modified a few of them to fit what I was creating. A short list of a few of the features:

• A* path finding
• Bridges has a different cost to roads for path finding
• World Generation
• Resources
• Unity tile maps

I was unable to finish this project as I was focused on finding an internship. The following features were planned but only a few were slightly implmented

• Food - affects how many people you could have
• Happiness - affects speed
• File Saving
• Boats to travel to new lands - as the world is rather limiting, so you can finish a game in 10 minutes

DirectX Project

---

This project was a part of my coursework at University, we wasn't given any framework to build off of.
In this project our task was to create the graphics for a game engine and the basics using C++ and DirectX 11. This entailed making the program to have phong lighting, texturing, and game controls.
However, as I quickly added these in, I started adding in additional features; which I was intrested in.
All the features that I included in this project:

• Skybox
• Billboards
• Specular mapping
• Normal mapping
• Post Processing
• Keyboard and Xbox360 controller support using XInput
• Directional, Point and Spot lights
• OBJ file Loading
• Scene graph loading and saving using Jsons
• Tessellating Water

In my last Project, Modern OpenGL, I had created some simple animated water, but now I had more of an understanding of how shaders work and how to use them. I choose to create water once more, but this time using hull, domain, and geometry shaders. This allowed me to create more complex looking water than before. I was also able to move it so that further you are from the water, the less triangles it would add to the surface of the water.
I also used libraries such as Imgui for the UI, and UI and some model assets from Kenny.

Modern OpenGL 3.3

---

This project was a part of my coursework at University.
We were given the task to make a 3D game of our choice with FreeGlut, which is an old toolkit for old OpenGL in C++. I quickly completed this work and after talking to my tutor I moved on to Modern OpenGL 3.3 which has no framework. With this new API and using the knowledge I quickly gained from FreeGlut I built this game.
I wanted to play around with world generation and so I added in a seed based world generator; however, I feel I could of improved it greatly. I was also interested in Water and, how it works, so I started working on water and in the end using the vertex shader I was able to create this simple wave animation for the water.
All of the features that I included in this project:

• Water animation using the vertex shader
• World Generation
• Day and night cycle
• File saving and loading
• Object Editor
• OBJ file reader
• Primitive Cube map

Due to time constrains, I couldn't add being able to place your own buildings in to the world that you make in the editor. I also used libraries such as Imgui for the UI, and model assets from Kenny.

• Completed Date: 21^st April 2017

Koin!

---

Koin is my first released game on the Google PlayStore. Koin started as a simple 2D game, and I went on to making it 3D with Unity using C#. Point of the game is to collect coins and upgrade yourself, and collect more coins. I went through the process of designing, programming, and releasing this game. I learnt a lot about the development process.
As I am writing this I feel I can improve it greatly as it was released in May of 2016. Some improves would deal with the performance issues, look and style of the game. As Unity has updated to improve its support of 2D games, I might think of bring it back to a 2D style would help it a lot for performance.

• Developed:
  <November 2015
• Released: 30^th May 2016
• PlayStore Link: ---

  My app was removed from the Google Play store by Google. I assume because it had no downloads and had been on there for quite a while.

Pac-man

---

Pac-man was my first C++ project; it was the first time I used C++. I was given a framework/game engine called S2D which I used in this project. I feel that it went well, but I felt I could do better by making one of the AI follow the user within the walls. The AIs added were as followed:

• One that randomly picks a direciton to go; when it meets a turn in the maze.
• One that follows a predefined path in the maze.
• One that follows the player through walls slowly to balance its ability.

I also added a bunch of other features within this game.

• Texture Packs
• Simple UI
• Sprite sheet animation

Clicker Game

---

This project was created by Jacob Duffell and myself. We used Trello and BitBucket to create this project together in 5 weeks with LÖVE2D API in Lua. As well split the tasks in this project. I did the following.

• Art work, including the spritesheets and background.
• Getting the spritesheets to work and animate
• Programming the heroes and character along side the enemies.

Jacob worked on things such as user interface design and programming. He worked on the heroes and taps upgrades, along side programming the currency that you get from the enemies. Jacob also got all the sounds in the game to work. As well, as sourcing the sounds.

• Completed Date: 3^rd January 2018
• Language: Lua - Love2D Engine

Global Games Jam 2018

---

In this project I worked with 3 other peers in Unity to create this piece in 48 hours at the Global Games Jam 2018. Our project is called Sub-Mission, you have to drive deep in a submarine to find ores which you can mine and sell for coin. This will allow you to upgrade your submarine and continue further in to the depths. As the theme was Transmission, you have to use sonar to find ore in the rocks, otherwise you cannot see it to mine it. I worked on the following features:

• Physics and Submarine movement physics
• Environment Art
• World Design
• Ore
• Bug fixing
• Some UI

• Completed Date: 28^th January 2018

They are Pixels

---

This was a group project on a team of 5. We designed and split up the tasks we worked together using a scrum method with the use of trello to keep track of tasks. In the end the project turned out amazing as we hoped for it. We worked on it for about 10 weeks, which includes all the design, programming and testing. There are things we wish went better as it was our second project in Lua as a follow on from the first project, which was a clicker game for me.
We knew we wanted to make a simple game within our scope that everyone had input in. We was talking about which art style was best, vector or pixels. Which sparkled the base of this game. Vectors Vs Pixels. The user as the Vector and the zombies become the corrupted Pixels.
In this project I worked on many pieces, but my main area was working on the Zombies. I designed and wrote their code, as they use a state machine as it seem perfected for this task.

In the end I worked on the following pieces.

• Zombies
• Zombie Waves
• Animation
• Debugging
• Parallax background
• Level design - I designed how the main game level was to appear and then made it with the input of others
• Debugging others code and helping with their tasks
• Pixel and Vector art (including UI art)
