Quackers with Quacklings

Waddle with friends in this whimsical arcade style racing game, collecting ducklings with unique skills and powers to help you gain the advantage. Developed using Unreal Engine 4, this solo project required me to delve into character design, modelling, animation, texturing, optimization and programming with C++ and UE4's blueprint workflow.

Space Junk

Defend yourself, a stolen spacecraft and its cargo as you are chased down by the military who are trying to stop you from escaping. I developed this VR action game using the OVR toolkit in Unity as part of a solo university design project and was inspired by classic arcade shooters.

Attacknoids

Attacknoids (formally Attacknids) was a multiplayer exploration and battle royale game where you jump about on floating islands gathering resources to upgrade your machines and weapons. As you play you are automatically connected to other players on your local network or online to work together or compete. Attacknoids was presented in my high school design portfolio and selected by NZQA to be showcased on their website as an exemplar of excellence for future students to reference and to be a part of the Top Art Exhibition which toured NZ in 2017.

Alma Rainbow Climber

Alma started as nothing but a challenge to see what I could create in an evening of programming, and after a warm reception from my friends, Alma Rainbow Climber became my first published mobile game. Alma was released for Android and on the Apple App Store in 2014. Over the game's life it found a lot enthusiastic and competitive players. Although no longer being available for download on mobile, it is still available to play online or to download for windows.
