Frozen Depths
Frozen Depths was my major project during my second year at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. A team of 3 programmers, 2 artists and 2 designers worked on it from July to November 2020.
It is a singleplayer, narrative-driven puzzle game. Play as Dr. Fabio; a scientist in search of a cure for a strange illness plaguing the world. Discover a powerful tool and use it to melt and create ice throughout the vast caves of Antarctica.
I contributed to this project as Lead Programmer, Shader Programmer, UI Programmer and Ice Gun Programmer.
Gemini Signal
Gemini Signal was my major project during my first year at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. It is a platformer where enemies of the same colour are unable to detect you. Switching colour to pass by enemies undetected to progress was the core of the game.
​
My main contributions in the project were scripts relating to UI, enemies and camera movement.
Pixel Art Animation Tool
The Pixel Art Animation Tool was a C# project I created at the end of my first year at AIE. It has many tools (pencil, eraser, eyedropper, fill, lighten, darken and line). It allows you to create multiple frames and play them back at a desired fps in the program. You can also export the frames you created as either a spritesheet or folder of images alongside a generated cpp and header file to be used alongside AIE's bootstrap.
