PROJECT HAT : Wearing too many hats

UNITY

AI AND GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMER

This is a 20 hours game project in GMKT2024 game jam: build to scale. In this project, I imeplment boss AI by Unity animation event and finite state mechine. This game you should collect enough small hats for an upgraded hat that scales you abilities. But be careful, if you collect too many hats of the same type the scroll will disappear.

SPLIT SPIRIT

CUSTOM ENGINE

PHYSICS AND GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMER

This is a 2D Paper lightbox-themed 2D puzzle platformer game. I am doing physics simulation and player controller in this project. I use simple Euler method to simulate physics in real world. I implement 2D AABB/Circle collision detection/resolution to handle the physics reaction in is game. Also, I implement the player controller, keyboard/Mouse input and object throwing for our gameplay.

DEAL: DARK PILLAR

CUSTOM ENGINE

SYSTEM AND TOOL PROGRAMMER

This is a 2D deck building and strategy game, we are inspired by slay the spire and some SLG. I am programing the buttom tool, achievement, win/lose system main menu and splash screen. Also, I create and import art/sound assets for our game.

GAME AI-RELATED PROJECTS

PROGRAMMER

Project 1 is A* pathfinding with smoothing route and rubber banding algorithm.
Project 2 is terrain analysis with occupancy map, influence map, visibility, search and propagation function.

OPENGL GRAPHIC ENGINE

PROGRAMMER

This is an openGL-based 3D graphic engine, which is equipped with a range of powerful features. One of the standout features of this engine is its support for both deferring and forward rendering. The engine also features advanced lighting capabilities, including spot lighting, direct lighting, and point lighting with Phong lighting shader. An extra feature is I implement octree for special partitioning in this project.
