A 2.5D Platform Game (2011), Whisperous was designed and simulated for XBLA, and can be played on PC and Mac using USB controllers.
Playing as Lumo, the bringer of light, players must use their powers of attract and repel in order to move particle-like organisms around the world, feeding them into other living parts of the world in order to progress forward to rid the world of the darkness that has overcome it.
I worked as a programmer on this project and was tasked with several tasks including but not limited to:

• Checkpoint system
• Attraction/Repulsion of objects
• Dynamic vine and flower creation tool
• Sprite Sheet interpretation
• Character aiming and shooting
• Menu systems and interactivity
• Trigger system to move objects, open doors etc when triggered.

This project was developed in Unity3D Engine, with some custom created editor tools.

Demo coming soon

As an introductory subject at Qantm Melbourne, we’re required to do low poly character modelling in Maya. I chose to model a ninja fox character with a hand weapon attachment. This model is around 4k tri’s with specular and diffuse maps.
High levels of detail texture work was done in this model which can be seen at closer levels. This is also reflected through the bump mapping to give extra detail for a low poly model.

This was an introductory class assignment to C# and WinForms. We were required to demonstrate File parsing techniques, for this project i created a level editor for 2D sprite based games. This editor includes features such as a hand tool, brush tool, marquee tool, eye dropper tool, and eraser and collisions tool. You are able to load in tiles to use individually for painting onto a canvas. If the user doesn’t have tiles I’ve included another tool i developed to cut up tilesheets into small tiles.
Tiles can also be placed on an unlimited number of layers which a game engine could interpret as separate render layers. It also has a clipboard function as well as history states to provide undo and redo functionality.
My tool takes this map data and saves it into an XML file ready for parsing for an appropriate game engine.

I prepared this demo to show some of the mathematics we covered at university relevant to games programming. This included me having to develop a custom math class to handle vectors, matrices and quaternions. This demo covers some of the basics related to the key topics. Such as vector operations, some matrix operations, and the quaternion slerp.

This is my technical demo where I demonstrate some DirectX 9 techniques for graphics rendering. I explored areas including colouring, lighting, texturing, blending options and stencil effects.

This project was completed using the Unity3D Engine. The purpose of this project was to work as a team with a real client developing project management skills. I worked as the technical director overseeing the technical aspects and delegating tasks. Apart from ensuring we meet technical requirements and milestones i took part with coding aspects myself. I worked on several parts including the fog of war, hooking up animations to game logic, menu systems, screen transition, checkpoint interactivity and UI prompts.

A PacMan clone featuring custom AI for each individual ghost character. Using Djikstra’s algorith the ghosts follow paths around the map. The game features a few levels with increasing difficulty. Special pick ups also appear periodically to increase score.
