MY PORTFOLIO

PolyQuest

PROGRAMMER - DESIGNER

PolyQuest is a prototype of a click-to-move RPG that showcases the fundamental systems for a larger project in development. Built as a gameplay demo, this early version introduces players to a small slice of the world—complete with dialogue, a basic inventory, and a quest system.

​

In the demo, players explore a quiet town under threat and speak with the Captain of the Guard to uncover their first quest: tracking down and defeating a group of bandits camped just outside the village. Core mechanics like movement, NPC interaction, and combat with enemy AI are all featured to demonstrate the game's potential.

​

This version of PolyQuest sets the groundwork for a more expansive RPG experience, with plans to evolve the world, deepen the questlines, and introduce more systems like character progression, branching dialogue, and a dynamic world state.

Eldwyn Grove

PROGRAMMER - DESIGNER

Eldwyn Grove is a fantasy-themed action RPG prototype focused on real-time movement and combat. This demo features WASD controls and responsive swordplay, allowing players to explore a stylized world, cut down roaming skeletons, and slice slimes into smaller forms.

​

The goal is to eventually expand Eldwyn Grove into a rich, immersive world featuring resource gathering, crafting, and narrative-driven quests.

The Legend of Zelda (NES) - Remake

PROGRAMMER - TEAM PROJECT

As part of a team assignment for GAP 305 "Programming for Production", we recreated the classic Legend of Zelda (NES) in Unity, focusing on replicating its iconic top-down gameplay, visual style, and mechanics. I worked with two teammates, who handled the UI, menus, and enemy behaviors, while I was solely responsible for implementing all core gameplay systems.

​

My responsibilities included:

  • Link’s movement and animation control

  • Combat mechanics, including sword attacks and projectile interactions

  • World navigation and camera transitions between map sections

  • Collision detection and environment interaction (e.g., walls, doors, objects)
