Description: Super Ballot Battle is a 4 player battle arena where the object is for players to shout at voters to collect votes and become the mayor

As a part of a team of 7, I helped develop the 80-page game design document to be used as a guide for production.  My primary role during production was the programming lead.  I coded and implemented the enemy AI using Finite State Machines to control how voters acted towards each candidate.  This controlled how they reacted to each candidate, either running away, staying and waving, and updating their allegiance when captured by a candidate.  As well, I coded the spawn manager to control voters populating in the town.  On top of my responsibilities as program lead, I also helped as extra 3D modeler.  I modeled the terrain and other 3D assets.

Description: For the programming portion of the Ubisoft Toronto NEXT 2020 competition, we were tasked with recreating the 1981 game Tempest.  We were provided the API we’d be using a month before the competition and the challenge brief was provided the weekend of the competition. While we had time to look over the API, we didn’t know what we’d be building prior to that weekend.

For my game I stayed true to the original format of the game.  The player can move around the level clockwise or counterclockwise one column at a time trying to shoot three types enemies before they reach the end of their column.  I added in the ability to jump to the direct opposite side of the level using the bumper buttons to add an additional movement ability.

Description: For this game I was part of a team of 6 and tasked with creating a game over a weekend.  We made a single player defense game where the player uses guns, grenades, and various traps to defend their home and family from waves of zombies.

My main role was coding a wave manager and the enemy AI.  The wave manager controlled the amount of enemies that spawned and the timing of the waves.  The enemies were built to have simple AI so they could make decisions between which fences to break down and whether or not to attack the house or player.   The enemies pathfinding was done with the NavMesh within Unity.

Description: A single player 2.5D stealth side-scroller where the player must sneak through an abandoned research facility while avoiding the turrets and enemy AI defense system.

My main role was coding the turret AI to recognize players within sight and shoot if locked onto the player.  I also designed, and coded the final scene including the in-game cutscene and final chase sequence.
