Synopsis

Ocular Dark is a 2D platformer developed in Unity2D with a group of 3 people, over the course of our final year in GIMM. The story follows the journey of Adonis, Greek God of permanent renewal. Stuck in a cycle of death a rebirth, a hand reaches from the void to help pull you from this cycle. Challenge fate and break out of the cycle with the help from your patron from the void.
When developing the game, we experimented with multiplayer to see if we would want to include it in the future game, but as of right now we have reverted to a more single player experience, converting the multiplayer elements over to the older version.

AR Habitat Explorer(Spring 2021)

Synopsis

The AR Habitat Explorer was a prototype created in Unity using AR Foundation to create a scientific AR experience for students K-12, most specifically for those that are on the spectrum. Our clients approached our professor and offered to finance one of the prototypes created from multiple groups in our cohort. Each group was presented a topic and crafted a prototype based off what they got. My group got biomes, so we focused specifically on the Desert. The idea was to have an animal, the camel, walk the student through the vocabulary of the desert to help them better understand elements by visually seeing what they were being taught by actions performed by the camel, or areas walked through.

Roles

Lead Developer:

Worked with client to create a science based AR experience fitted for K-12, specifically children on the spectrum.

Brainstormed ideas with clients as well as discussed changes and implementations to make sure the team and client were on the same page.

AR developer, created every AR based within the application, from placement of the terrain, to animation play through UI elements onto the AR terrain.

Created base UI element layout as well as button control and screens seen, placing art from our artist.

Implemented animation through coding for the camel as well as control of animation with UI
