This project is a simple FPS prototype where I experiment in Unity how you could create bullet penetration with the built-in physics.

UConsole is a small standalone console you can add to existing games and then you can easily add custom commands.

The Falling was created for a game jam which was hosted at our college. The theme was “5 seconds to live” and we teamed up with people from different classes.

Polluted was my final major project for my last year at college. We had 13 weeks to create a game based on a chosen word, this project the word was “Forgotten”. I decided to create a survival game where you are placed in an abandoned city and you are left to survive. For this project we couldn’t work in teams, so all the art and programming was done by me.

VTOL VR is a VR flight game which is available on steam. In April 2019 I created a simple WPF application with a .net framework class library which combined with a Unity Injector gave the ability for users to create their own mods for VTOL VR. I’ve been working on this since. I’ve created a website on the Python framework Django, setup a Ci/CD on Gitlab for both the site and mod loader and set up a VPS to host this all.

VTOL VR is a singleplayer flight game on steam. One of the big reasons I started creating a mod loader was to have a go at adding in multiplayer into it with hopefully it being the main multiplayer with mods as well. The solo developer of the game had stated that he didn’t want to start working on multiplayer or mod support till the game had been released out of early access.

I have created a few Raft Mods in the past and was heavily involved in helping out in the community from just running mods to people creating them.

When I was studying Games Development at Northbrook MET, for Unit 12 we had to create a game based on the theme Nautical in two weeks. For this unit, I tried to create a “.io” style of game where you would play as pirates shooting each other.

Editor Rich Presence is a plugin for the Unity Editor that displays what you are currently working on and which scene on your Discord profile. This is my very first attempt at trying to create an editor tool for Unity and releasing it.

Back in 2018, I got an HTC Vive for my birthday. The following day I wanted to create something in Unity with this new VR headset, so I recreated the Physics Gun from Garry’s Mod.
