Gunslinger

A Roguelike, Turn-Based Card Game

Introduction

Gunslinger is a Roguelike, turn-based card game inspired by Slay the Spire. It was developed in a month as the final project for the Google Game and Application Academy by a two-person team — me as the programmer and an artist. The game combines deck-building and turn-based combat, offering strategic choices across procedurally generated stages.

1. Turn-Based Combat

I built a turn-based combat system where each card acts as an action or bullet type that fills the player’s magazine. At the end of the turn, all loaded bullets are fired based on the player’s choices and apply damage and effects of bullets (like bleed debuff) to enemies. Also added an enemy intent system that lets players anticipate upcoming attacks.

Bellatorum

3D Gladiator AutoBattler

Introduction

Bellatorum is a 3D Gladiator AutoBattler where players build a team of gladiators and watch them fight automatically in tactical combat encounters. The project was developed in one month together with a game designer who handled the combat logic and design, while I was responsible for all programming and implementation..

1. Shop System

Created a shop system where players can purchase gladiators using in-game currency. Each shop refresh offers a randomized set of units, allowing for varied strategies each round.

Implemented logic for unit purchasing, placement into the player’s roster, and upgrade mechanics when duplicates are bought, ensuring progression feels rewarding.

Parasite Tower

A Tower Defense Game

Introduction

Parasite Tower is a tower defense game where you play as a sentient bio-weapon that infiltrates and infects a massive enemy mecha. Once inside, your mission is to defend the infected core from incoming enemy waves until full assimilation is complete. The project was developed for PirateSoft Jam with the team of 4 in a week with the theme “You Are a Weapon”

Wave Management System

Developed the wave manager tool for our designer so he can control enemy spawning, pacing, and difficulty scaling throughout the match. Each wave dynamically increases pressure on the player, requiring strategic placement and upgrades to survive.

Implemented logic for controlling spawn intervals, and synchronizing wave progression with the overall assimilation phase of the mecha.

Scale Mage

A Survival Game made for GMTK2024 Jam

Introduction

As part of a 6-person team for the GMTK Game Jam, we developed a game based on the theme "Built to Scale." The goal of the game was to creatively incorporate scaling mechanics as part of the core gameplay experience. I took on the role of a gameplay programmer, where my primary contribution was designing and implementing a shrink gun mechanic. This mechanic allowed players to shrink objects within the game world, adding both puzzle-solving elements and interactive gameplay based on size manipulation.

Mechanics

My primary responsibility was designing and implementing the shrink gun mechanic, which allowed players to shrink objects in the environment. This added a layer of interactive gameplay, allowing players to solve puzzles by resizing objects.

Additionally, I designed a damage system that calculated damage to enemies based on both the scale and velocity of the objects thrown at them. This system added a physics-based combat element, rewarding players for their skill in managing object size and throwing speed to deal more damage.

Angry Rocket

AngryBirds with Rockets

Introduction

In this one-week project, I developed a game inspired by Angry Birds, but with a twist—bringing the concept into a 3D space. The core gameplay involves throwing various types of rockets that explode on impact, across 8 distinct levels. The objective is to gain 3 stars and score points based on your performance in each round.

Mechanics

In this game, I implemented three different colored tower pieces, similar to Angry Birds, which players can destroy using various rockets. These towers add a puzzle-like element to the levels, challenging players to find the best angles and rockets to topple them efficiently. Additionally, I designed two distinct enemy types, each with varying HP values, requiring players to adjust their tactics and make strategic choices.

Void Survivor

Survival Game for Godot Wildjam #69

Introduction

For Godot Wild Jam, I developed a survival game where players take control of a ship under constant enemy attack. The core gameplay revolves around managing the ship's power system, as the player must quickly allocate power to different parts of the ship to fend off incoming threats. With three distinct control panels on the ship, players must strategically decide which systems—such as weapons, shields, or engines—get the most power to survive the onslaught.

Mechanics

I implemented glowy particles, bloom effects, and enemy attack animations to enhance visual feedback and immersion in the game. These effects supported the core survival mechanics, where players manage power distribution to different ship systems to defend against enemy attacks.

Galton Board

Galton Board Simulation in Unity

Introduction

As part of a one-day project for my physics class, I developed a Galton board simulation in Unity. This project aimed to demonstrate the principles of probability and physics, visualizing how small variations can lead to a normal distribution as balls bounce through a grid of pegs.

Mechanics

The simulation features 2000 balls that fall into the board, effectively demonstrating the concept of probability. As the balls navigate through the pegs, their paths illustrate how random processes can result in a predictable distribution.

Keyboard Tennis

Steam game with PolygonSoft

Introduction

I contributed to the development of Keyboard Tennis for 4 months while i was working at PolygonSoft, a keyboard-based tennis game published on Steam by PolygonSoft Games. The game provides both fun and competitive experiences, challenging players to return the ball to their opponents with speed and precision.

Mechanics

I developed various mini-game implementations, including a word game and a score leaderboard, while also implementing a multiplayer mode for real-time competition. Additionally, I designed a power-up system to add variety and strategic depth to the gameplay. For the ball mechanics, I focused on throwing balls into the enemy's keyboard with trail effects, and I created a dynamic camera system that follows the action, ensuring a clear view of both the ball and players. The game also features language support for different keyboard layouts.

ProjectSSS

FTL inspired game

Introduction

This was a project that got cancelled after a month of developement. We wanted to make naval combat game inspired by FTL.

1. Ship Editor Tool

Implemented custom tool in editor for designers to create ships with dynamic armoured walls and rooms type/sizes and load to runtime.

Orbs And Dash

Sonic Inspired

Introduction

This is a ongoing private project I'm working on with 14 other contributors.

Gameplay Mechanics

Worked on different interactable objects like Mystery Spell that gives random effects on collision

Roguelike-ARPG

ARPG Tool

Introduction

This tool was originally created for an internal project. It supports generating different projectile and AI behavior configurations, along with navigation capabilities. I can provide more information upon request, where allowed.
