Dark Aviary
A third-person hardcore horror game blending tension, atmosphere, and survival
Dark Aviary is a third-person survival horror experience set in a decaying world overrun by a viral outbreak that mutates humans into grotesque, birdlike creatures. Players step into the role of Ben — a skilled weaponsmith fighting to survive while searching for his family amid chaos. The game combines claustrophobic tension with intricate weapon crafting and environmental storytelling.
Key Features:
- AI-driven encounter design focused on adaptive horror pacing
- Designed and implemented AI behaviors for enemy and NPC characters in Dark Aviary, a third-person hardcore horror game
- Developed adaptive enemy AI systems to create tense, survival-driven encounters inspired by Dead Space and Metro
- Collaborated with designers and animators to ensure AI interactions enhanced gameplay immersion and challenge
- Optimized AI routines for performance while maintaining unpredictability and realism in enemy behaviors
- Contributed to gameplay iteration through playtesting and tuning AI difficulty, ensuring balance between challenge and player experience
- Assisted in prototyping new AI mechanics to support survival horror storytelling and player engagement
- Assisted in prototyping new AI mechanics to support survival horror storytelling and player engagement
- Mid-production with narrative, AI design, and level scripting in active development
Cicada
A solo indie 3D action platformer where recoil becomes your movement
Cicada is a solo-developed indie action platformer inspired by retro Japanese aesthetics. Players use gun recoil to propel themselves through procedurally generated environments, where every shot doubles as both weapon and movement. Featuring physics-based traversal, roguelike relic systems, and stylish world design, Cicada turns mobility into art.
Core Systems:
- Recoil-based traversal combining combat and mobility
- Procedural level generation with dynamic relic modifiers
- Boss encounters tied to challenge portals and in-world lore
- Vending machine AI shopkeepers with unique personalities
- Developed in Unreal Engine 5 targeting a 2026 demo release
LOOM Arduino Library
Modular IoT sensor and actuator systems for environmental research
Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to develop LOOM, a modular and extensible Arduino library designed for IoT sensor and actuator systems in environmental research. This project emphasizes modularity, low-power operation, and cross-device compatibility for field research applications.
Key Contributions:
- Contributed to system architecture and codebase using C++
- Utilized Git and GitHub for version control, managing branches and pull requests
- Gained hands-on experience with Arduino-based microcontrollers
- Implemented sensor integration, I2C communication, and interrupt handling
- Participated in sprint planning and feature discussions
- Contributed well-tested Arduino code under tight deadlines
Narrative Adventure Game
Original 9-chapter narrative adventure with unique party mechanics
Designed and developed an original narrative adventure game with a 9-chapter structure centered on emotional themes and character-driven progression. The game features a unique cast of party members, each offering distinct gameplay mechanics for exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat.
Key Features:
