Game Projects
In development
Active work right now — more context on Current Focus.
- UE5 FPS survival prototype (private IP) — Serious in-progress Unreal Engine 5.5 (C++) title: first-person wave survival. Combat, enemy AI, and escalating rounds are in the playable loop, with facility progression systems under active hardening for a completable vertical slice. No playable build or store page yet.
- UE5 co-op mall prototype (private IP) — In-progress Unreal Engine 5 (C++) friendslop-style co-op set in a shopping mall: shared chaotic jobs, proximity voice, and escalating day-shift disasters. Core loop and multiplayer scaffolding are in active development. No playable build or store page yet.
- Original fantasy world chronicle (private IP) — ~32 chronicle-style lore entries (~30+ pages), currently in revision: lived-in background lore as the foundation for a future game concept. This is mainly worldbuilding and design prep for a game I want to make—not a separate writing credential, and nothing is published as standalone narrative, yet.

ACCESS GRANTED
Unity 6 · C# · URP · Released · WebGL + Windows
Released solo project that blends brick-breaker play with reactive typing challenges inside a CRT-terminal aesthetic.
- Built the paddle/ball loop, command-brick slow motion, typed prompt resolution, menus, and WebGL/Windows release flow.
- Tuned separate failure tracks for ball drops and mistyped commands, with three difficulty tiers across levels 1-15.
- Used barrel distortion, scanlines, UI styling, and patch iteration to keep the CRT identity readable during play.

Dread & Breakfast
Unity 6 · C# · Beta / Post-jam · WebGL & Windows
Top-down ghost haunting simulator about scaring guests through escalating nights, shuffled rooms, haunt abilities, and a replayable fright economy.
- Built PCG-style house layout support with readable room templates, props, and guest setups for night-to-night variety.
- Centralized guest behavior so visitors can wander, chatter, escalate fear, and trigger panic chains.
- Authored 17 reusable haunt abilities, persistent meta-shop progress, and event-driven feedback for browser play.

Trenchglow
Unity (2D URP) · C# · Released · WebGL
WebGL deep-sea exploration game built around sonar pings, dark-water navigation, collectibles, puzzles, and curiosity-first traversal.
- Built shader-driven sonar reveals with a toned-down fallback for WebGL and lower-end GPUs.
- Layered local visibility, widening sonar rings, and timed SFX so audio and reveal feedback line up.
- Finished beyond the tutorial with additional trench levels and puzzle spaces; playable WebGL build is live on itch.
Play In Browser · Released with tutorial plus extra trench levels.
BREATHE Arcade
Unity 6 · C# · 2D URP · Capstone Project · WebGL + Windows
Five breath-controlled micro-games built around a shared input layer for custom hardware, USB mic input, and keyboard simulation.
- Designed one normalized breath-input path so fan hardware, USB mic, and keyboard fallback feed the same mini-game logic.
- Handled MCU/serial input on a worker thread with COM discovery, smoothing, and spike rejection for reliable demos.
- Shared scoring/results UX and per-mode tuning structs across all five games instead of duplicating flow per activity.

OVERCLOCKED: Data Dash MAX
Unreal Engine 5 · C++ & Blueprints · Capstone Project · Released (PC & Arcade Cabinet)
Released Unreal endless runner built for desktop and arcade cabinet play, with lane movement, speed escalation, pickups, medals, themes, and offline leaderboards.
- Built C++ gameplay systems for lane swap, jump/slide, spawning, pickups, HUD, menu flow, and gamepad-first control.
- Authored 40+ obstacle pattern chunks with difficulty tiers and weighted escalation so pressure rises without unreadable RNG spikes.
- Tuned pacing, HUD clarity, six visual themes, and arcade-cabinet input feel through PC and hardware playtesting.
Windows build on Itch.io · Patch v1.1.0 · Trailer
Quantum Tether
Unity · C# · Released · Texas Game Jam 2025 (EGaDs, UT Austin)
Endless roguelike sidescroller made in a weekend: swing on stars and asteroids with the mouse, unlock a second rope, shorten the rope, and dash toward the cursor to recover bad swings. Red corrupted anchors are traps, one touch ends the run, and time crystals feed upgrades and score progression. Inspired by the old flash game Spider-Man: City Raid.
- Grapple feel: cursor-based anchors, tuned damping, rope length control, and dash recovery keep the swing readable.
- Procedural levels: hand-authored anchor/pickup/hazard chunks enter the run through weighted rules as speed increases.
- Roguelike wrap-up: 10+ upgrades, normal vs. corrupted anchors, HUD/score flow, and fresh-run structure.
Mysteries of Tupni
Unreal Engine 5 · Blueprints · Class Prototype
Third-person fantasy “souls-like” action adventure. I worked on early concept/design, documentation, and scope management, then built a Data Table driven inventory system, interactables, and quest/NPC hooks. This was one of my first game projects, built with another student and market assets for art.
Ginger Shroom Journey
Unity · C# · Steam · Class Prototype
Solo developed, simple 2D adventure. Built everything except art assets: core systems, UI, SFX, 10 tilemap-painted levels, and Steamworks shipping.
Other Work
Void Knights
Unreal Engine 5 · Blueprints · Class Prototype
Persona-inspired dual-world JRPG prototype. I authored exploration mechanics including Reality/Void realm swap, telekinesis, patrol AI, interactive props, save/load hooks, and related traversal features while collaborating with the lead designer and lead programmer.
Medieval Shop Game
C++ · Windows · Class Prototype
ASCII console shop simulator with inventory, haggling, branching chat options, RAII/smart pointers, CMake, packed assets, installer work, and signed .exe experiments. Built solo for a class project.
Million Miles Deep
Unreal Engine 5 · Blueprints · Class Prototype
Oceanic 2D top-down bullet-hell/SHMUP — game design, enemy pattern authoring, projectile setup, playtesting, and QA.
Ragdoll Plainly Perilous
Unreal Engine 5 · Blueprints · Class Prototype
Made for Chillenium 2025 Game Jam. Experimental ragdoll-as-controller traversal with stable collision tuning. Modeled after and inspired by an old flash game (Ragdoll Avalanche 2).
Crimson Eclipse
Unreal Engine 5 · Blueprints · Class Prototype
Side-scrolling atmospheric horror—enemy/encounter logic, environment beats, HUD comms. Did the engine work, level design & implementation/build. Team project from my coursework, with artist teammates.
