Grapple Gravitations

As a personal project, I developed a first-person shooter set in the universe of the Metroid Prime series. This game, built using Unreal Engine 5.1, explores the impact of additional traversal options on the established formula of the Prime series. One unique mechanic introduced is the pilotable grappling hook, which allows players to navigate the environment in new and exciting ways. By leveraging this grappling hook mechanic, players could experience a fresh take on exploration and movement within the Metroid Prime universe.

Spinwheel

In a short two-day project developed in Unity, I was tasked with creating an innovative solution for pain management in pediatrics through the use of distractions. The result is a game that incorporates the microphone on your headset, allowing you to physically blow on a pinwheel within the virtual environment. By engaging with the game and using your breath to interact, the aim is to provide a unique and immersive distraction that can help alleviate pain and discomfort for pediatric patients.

AJR The Click Album Recreation

"AJR The Click Album Recreation" is a recreation of AJR's album artwork from "The Click" using Tilt Brush. The original album art, which features a whimsical environment filled with various instruments and vibrant pink and orange clouds resembling cotton candy, has been a personal favorite of mine. Curious about the experience of stepping into this captivating album art, I decided to recreate it using Tilt Brush. The result is an immersive depiction that allows you to visually explore and engage with the fantastical world of "The Click" album.

Mike Wikan Quote Poster

I have designed a personalized poster featuring a quote from one of my favorite developers, Mike Wikan. The quote, "If it's not fun to play, it'll fail," resonates deeply with me as I progress in my career within the gaming industry. It serves as a constant reminder of the core purpose of game development—to entertain. This poster celebrates the essence of game creation, emphasizing the importance of delivering enjoyable experiences to players, just as Mike Wikan provided me with the enjoyable expirence of the Metroid Prime series
