Rue
August 2021 - December 2021
Rue[Acceptance Level] is another team project I worked on in my
second level design class. The premise of this project was that
you, a man whose husband has died have to go through the different
stages of grief while on drugs. I designed my "level" concept with
multiple levels in the Unreal Engine, but they all conveyed my part
of the Acceptance stage in the psychedelic/abstract manner my group
was going for. For this project I was the team's designated mechanics
programmer as well as being assigned part 2 of the Acceptance level
to design and create as I saw fit, I was able to set up the AI, the in-game UI,
the ziplines, the PC's abilities etc. and due to my greater level of experience
this time around, I was able to try to convey a narrative and implement some quality
of life improvements to the game such as multidirectional movement, and dynamic footstep
sounds depending on the surface the player steps on etc.

Killer Karens
January 2021 - May 2021
Killer Karens [Storeroom Level] was and is the first video game level I ever
developed. It's functions include but are not limited to, Enemy AI, FPS gameplay
w/ Iron Sights, Ammo Pickups, Health Pickups, Grenades and more and I developed
these during a Game Level Design course on my surface pro laptop. The overall
project was a team effort, there was a Coffee Shop level, an Alleyway level, a
Bathroom level, and a Storeroom level and the overarcing narrative was that you,
a coffee shop worker are defending yourself against "Killer Karens" who are constantly
attacking and harassing you and will not stop until you defeat them all.
