My experience building games

I don’t have a degree saying that I did well, so I hope you’ll settle for my portfolio of titles I have made over the past 5 years.

Bug Brutality

My first experience in Unity, made during a 7 week course in college where the fundamentals of Game Development was taught
Things I learned
- The very basics of Unity’s UI
- Basic (non skeleton) modeling in blender

My first Game Jam. This title was made over 1 week within my first year of developing games
Things I learned
- Simple Pixelart
- Color Theory
- Pixel Art animations in Unity

A game built alongside a videogame development club I ran in a middle school. I tried to keep to the same amount of time as my students had (~30 hours) and made a simple platformer that they could build off of
Things I learned
- Developing for a greater team
- Focusing on simple and expandable code

Made for my second year running a game development club I decided to make a project that I could run with later on.
Things I learned
- Developing expandable concepts
- Learning about optimization improvements

My passion project for 5+ years. Starting in October 2019, Apacies was my first 2d game made in unity and I have been expanding and improving its Pokemon-like gameplay for the entirety of that time
Things I learned
- Keeping track of progress through consistent releases and DevLogs
- Building up a follower base through the use of Youtube, Patreon, and Twitter
- Character/ creature Design
- Coding “Simple” mechanics (a dialogue tree and quest system)
- Balancing gameplay
- Improving game “feel” through more interaction and importance on player input
