Background

I played my first video game, Command & Conquer: Zero Hour, very early on in my childhood. I fell in love with gaming ever since. I started my first stunt with programming with Visual Basic at 11 years old. I am now studying for a degree for Game Programming in University of Advancing Technology.

I am also working to create Knossium and adapting Witches' Hand to an independent video game. It has become an enjoyable passion for me to work with code to create experiences for other people to enjoy. However, I not only enjoy coding. I enjoy also enjoy messing about in Blender, modelling and animation, and Reaper, creating music.

Projects

Knossium

A roguelite turn-based strategy game. Where the player will drag shapes, known as AOE, around the battlefield to either destroy your enemies or support your own party. It's a work in progress game, right now just needing some art.

The various things I had to do in order for this to work. Working with Godot. Like saving person's progress. Organizing and responding to playtester feedback. Using composition to create components for characters. Developing a way to create characters fast, with as little code as possible. It also has Steam integrated and is possible to get achievements, stats, rich presence, and other stuff.

Witches' Hand

A game where pulling the wrong card from your opponent's hand is disastrous, however it can be said from the opponent as well. Rotate and move your card a little to throw off your opponents, play mind games. Make them pull a card that they will regret. This is a work in progress game

A game made in Godot. This is 8 player multiplayer game using Godot Networking combined with Steam Networking. Working in creating a turn-based card game while synchronizing it. Difficult right now as the resources for creating this game is little.

Hobbies

Art

Really like using Blender & Krita. However, but getting into creating stuff by using nodes.

The following images are made using nodes using Pixel Composer.

Music

I usually use Reaper and love Spitfire Audio for their extensive audio libraries. Won't mind unorthodox samples though.

Will be added soon.

Other

Will be added soon.
