Summary

This group project was made by four students including me during an open learning semester (my 3rd semester) at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. It is a game made for the Practoraat Interactieve Technologie ROC Tilburg. The goal of the game is to teach Dutch to immigrant students at Schakelcollege. These students had different topics each period and we chose for the home environment topic which perfectly aligned with their schedule.
The game has also been shared through a post and article

Responsibilities

• Library research
• Prototyping & Realization
• Level design (3rd prototype)
• Quest system (final build)
• In-game audio
• User Testing

Summary

This game is a small group project made by six students including me. The Game Pie project is the first project of the Semester 4 Game Design specialization at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. You had 4 weeks to create a first person shooter game and each week covered a different topic.

• Week 1: Introduction week
• Week 2: Game analysis
• Week 3: Game design
• Week 4: Game development

Our idea was to create a horror shooter in a tech store where you take the role of a security guard when the store suddenly gets possessed by a poltergeist.

Responsibilities

• Game design
• Shooting mechanic
• Menu navigation (Main menu, pause menu, death screen, etc.)
• Second floor realization
• Git "master"
• User testing

Summary

Followed a GameDev.TV course that taught me how to make a game in Unreal Engine 5 using mainly C++ and also a few blueprints. After the course, I also created my own iteration based on the game that was made during the course. This was part of my 140 hours project during the open learning semester (my 3rd semester) at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. I wanted to get familiar with Unreal Engine and C++ because I want to try and get an internship (and maybe even a job) in the game industry. You had one day every week to work on this project and the final iteration is rather small due to the limited amount of time. It only included: A different map, shout function and background music.

Responsibilities

• Player Movement & Animation
• Shooting
• Health & Death
• Enemy AI
• Ending the Game - Win/Lose

Summary

A 2D platformer made by OBM Studio consisting of five students including me. The player takes control of a little ghost that wants to save his friend by collecting soul shards. This project was part of a big assignment called "Proftaak" during my time at ROC Ter AA where I studied Application & Media Design. For this assignment we decided to create a 2D platformer game. The game originally also included a home made controller. We had around 6 weeks to finish it.

Responsibilities

• Enemy, NPC, shard and weapon sprites/design
• Level design
• HUD (Health, stamina, collectibles and timer)
• Dialogue
• Pause menu and death screen

Summary

During the specialization AR/VR, the class had to create a VR experience in Unity that could be played using Google Cardboard. I built a game that is about coming home for work. You can interact with objects and people in and around the house. To finish the game, simply go to bed or enter the car. The game was built in around 3 days.

Responsibilities

• Interaction
• Dialogue
• Movement
• End screen
• Level design

Summary

This project was made during Genius Hours at ROC Ter AA. The assignment was to make Tetris using physics. First I followed a tutorial to create a standard Tetris game (see demo below) and after that I tried applying physics to the game. Creating this game was a whole challenge because I was very new to Unity and had to figure out the physics part all by myself. The game can be improved on a lot but for only 4 weeks I was pretty happy with the results!

Responsibilities

• Creating individual Tetris blocks
• Creating a standard Tetris game
• Adding physics to the game
• Tried adding a leaderboard to the game, but that never made it to the final build

Summary

A third person action-adventure game, where the player takes control of a god, Shizen, that just awakened from a very long sleep.

Responsibilities (WORK IN PROGRESS!)

• Game Design
• Level Design
• Enemy AI
• Environment modeling
• Sound design and music
• Puzzles
• Storytelling

Summary

During Genius Hours at ROC Ter AA, I chose to follow a Unity Course. After that course, I had to create my own game with what I have learned throughout the course. I decided to create a top-down wave shooter game. The game has three difficulties. Each difficulty multiplies the amount of enemies in each wave. I had 4 weeks to complete the course and create my own game.

Responsibilities

• Player movement
• Shooting mechanic
• Wave mechanic
• Difficulties
• Enemy AI
• HUD
• Menu navigation (Main menu, death screen)
• Level Design

Summary

This group project is a game made by a classmate and I under the name SB Entertainment. It's a turn-based RNG game where the player has to defeat bosses. Next to a game, the project also included a site as a sort of game wiki. In the game you take control of one of the Grimhunters that have to defeat at least 10 bosses to complete the game. The game is really difficult and completely based around RNG. Only one student has been able to beat the game. We had around 6 weeks for the project.

Responsibilities

• RNG combat mechanic
• Menu navigation
• HUD
• MySQL
• Sound design
• Art direction
