Game Engine
Legend Of Sweeper
Tools: Unity, C#, Aseprite
Team size: Solo
Project time: 3 weeks
Developed for: Search For a Star Programming
Description: A crossover between the original Zelda and Minesweeper, in this adventure you play as a miner making his way through dangerous boards littered with mines. All programming, visuals, 2D and 3D art were handled by myself, sound effects and music were royalty free. This project alongside the C++ technical tests got me a position as a finalist in the competition.

Past Bypass
Tools: Unity, C#
Team size: 3 programmers, 2 artists, 1 composer
Project time: 2 weeks
Developed for: A Jam About Time
Rating: 6th best rated game out of 104 entries
Responsibilities:
-
Organizing team members and tasks
-
Game and Level Design
-
Programming movement, player past clones and time travel mechanics
Description: A 2D platformer about going through levels while avoiding making contact with past versions of yourself. Levels force players to go through the same area multiple times, but since past versions of the player are now traversing the area as well, careful movement is key. Thankfully, if you fail, you can easily go back in time, taking the place of one of your past selves.
