FreeSpace 2

Starfighter Simulator Engine - C++

2021 - Ongoing

FreeSpace 2 is a game released by Volition in 1999 and Open Sourced in 2002. Since then, a community of fans has kept the game and its engine up to date with modern standards and features by contributing to the Open Source code.

My C++ contributions to the engine include expanding the Lua Scripting framework, improving UI and HUD drawing functions, and adding input customization features for players.

Additionally, I have developed Lua scripts that modders can use in the game's engine to add new features, such as a minimap and a third-person targeting reticle.

Glimpsy

Augmented Reality App - Unity3D

2019-2021

Glimpsy is a social Augmented Reality and Geolocation-based app for Android and iOS, developed with Unity3D. In it, users place their virtual selves at interesting locations throughout the world, where they may share commentary and information about their experiences.

I was responsible for many facets of the app's development, including programming the UI systems, mini-games, a dynamic 3D avatar customization system, and the translation/localization system.

Robolucha

Educational Game - BabylonJS/HTML5

2019

Robolucha is an educational gaming platform where students learn to code by playing. They create code with blocks and a virtual robot follows their instructions to solve problems and to compete with other robots in virtual arenas.

I used TypeScript with the BabylonJS engine to develop UI elements such as the health bars, game logic such as collision detection, as well as a custom map system, which allowed the game designer to quickly prototype new maps. In the backend, GoLang and Java were used to manage "rooms" for multiplayer matches and online singleplayer tutorials with progression tracking.

Hyperspace Attack

3D Space Shooter - Unity3D

2020 - Ongoing

Hyperspace Attack is my current personal project, inspired mainly by the Star Fox series. The player has to avoid obstacles and shoot targets in an infinte runner-esque setup.

It uses Unity's new Input System and is designed from the ground-up to be easily moddable once it's released.
