    uniE621 Rumble Royale
    Rumble Royale is a local multiplayer FPS game, inspired by the Call of Duty local multiplayer mode. I made this project to become more familiar with C++ in Unreal. I implemented the entirety of the character and weapon classes in C++ and implemented the UI elements and general game flow in Blueprints. The game is also dual-controller supported. https://www.twine.net/signin https://www.twine.net/signin…

    paper Pokemon Boss Rush (C#, Unity)
    Pokémon Boss Rush is a 2D, challenge-run game where you are put into a fan-made, more difficult, version of end-game Pokémon games (where you fight the Elite Four and Champion). In order to overcome this challenge, the player must carefully craft their team and make best use of the game's unique battle mechanics. I was the sole creator of this game. I have created many personal projects over my game programming/design path. Out of those, this is the one I have spent the most time developing and most proud of. I created this game to further improve my programming abilities through the use of Unity Events, game states, save states, and many other useful tools and features. While I was the sole developer, I did pull all of my art, music, and sound effects from other sources and have correctly credited them. https://www.twine.net/signin portfolio resume…
