Hiraeth

Showcased at the Gala ImagiNAD 2025

Hiraeth is an atmospheric puzzle platformer about finding your sense of belonging.Roles: Programming lead, Game design
Tools used: Unreal Engine, Blueprints, Perforce, NotionKey Contributions:
- Organized regular programming meetings and managed task lists on Notion.
- Prototyped core puzzle mechanics such as manipulating the size of color-coded objects and weaving a string through anchors in the level to reproduce a pattern.
- Whiteboxed various level segments to prototype mechanics and puzzle ideas.
- Implemented a cinematic camera that can follow the player, pan along tracks, and adjust it's various parameters (FOV, offset, rotation, zoom, etc.)I took part in the project during pre-production, prototyping and up to the completion of the vertical slice. I had to leave in the last few months before completion due to academic commitments.

Secrets of the Nile

Montreal Game Jam 2023 (Won "Best Gameplay")

Secrets of the Nile is a 2D time-travel puzzle game submitted for the Montreal Game Jam 2023. You are an archaeologist searching for artifacts. In a hidden temple, you must solve puzzles by manipulating time. Find the buried treasures and record them in your journal to piece together the secrets of ancient Egypt!Roles: Programming, UI
Tools used: Unity, C#, GithubKey Contributions:
- Developed a time travel mechanic which involves keepings track of objects states in two timeline and updating them to follow causality (moving an object in the past moves it in the present, unless the object has been brought back to the past, for example).

Artificiary

Personal Project

Artificiary (previously "Escape the Murk") is an upcoming 2D fusion of metroidvania and immersive sim design. You follow an alchemist on an adventure to reach the surface and uncover the true nature of the mysterious underground world they awoke in. Explore dangerous ecosystems and master the tenets of alchemy, and the secrets of the Murk will reveal themselves to you!This is a passion project I work on in my off time. A vertical slice was completed for the course COMP 490 at Concordia - Computer Science Project I.Roles: Programming, game and level design, art
Tools used: Unity, C#, Aseprite, LDtk, Tilesetter, Figma, GithubKey Contributions:
- Developed custom 2D collision physics to allow for a precise platforming character controller.
- Developed a highly systemic rules-based alchemy mechanic inspired by Zelda Breath of the Wild's "chemistry engine", where different properties (material, temperature, status effects, etc.) would react differently to various elements. For example, water puts out and protects from fire, fire thaws ice, metal and water conduct electricity, fire and electricity release an explosive blast, electricity can supercharge devices, water can grow plants, plants wither from fire, etc.
- Designed 5 puzzle rooms with open ended solutions that leverage the systemic interactions of the alchemy system.
- Developed custom import scripts to build the levels in a dedicated level editor (LDtk) with parsing over game object parameters.
- Created and integrated pixel art, animations, tilesets and VFX in engine.
- Integrated audio using FMOD.
