Human-centered Computing Thesis-equivalent Project 2025. Godot.BREAKWARD: Demo link ↗
A solo development game project. Breakward is set in the same universe as From One to Another. It is a match-3 style game developed using Godot. Art assets made in Piskel and sound effect made in PicoSynth.Runes, wards, enchantments--nothing stands in the way of a master breakward.

This short demo was made for my ITIN undergraduate capstone project in Spring 2024. Godot.FROM ONE TO ANOTHER
This is a passion project that I've had in the works for years being developed using Godot. It will be a collection of multimedia stories all set in the same universe.In the world of Marrow, Flick is a lost soul. Not knowing who they are or where they come from, everyone has their own idea of who Flick should be. Flick is driven by the feeling that they were supposed to be doing something very important, but whatever that was is now long forgotten.

Final game deliverable, Introduction to Game Programming projects, May 2023. JavaScript custom engine.Both games utilize a simple game engine created in JavaScript, and all of the visuals are coded within. The engine also resizes to fit the browser window, and will generate letterboxing as needed.TURN BATTLER
A unique grid component for game objects helps elements be drawn correctly. A turn-based system allows the player to take down enemies by colliding into them on their turn. The high score is saved as a browser cookie and between scenes.FISH GAME
Collision detection keeps the fish in the aquarium and the bubbles and food deleted once they are off-screen. The food container exists in screen space as UI, while everything else is in-world. The fish uses rudimentary tracking to hunt down food.
