Unreal Engine 4

Circuit

I decided to remake Circuit in UE4 to learn the engine. Where the original featured only one level this version has more with new and interesting mechanics. I'm currently still working on this project with hopes of releasing it to the public. 

Circuit is a top-down game set in looping levels. The player’s power drains over time and collecting nodes will refill their power and give them points.  The goal of the game is to last as long as you can and optimize your route for the highest score.

Magnetic Manipulation

A group final project, Magnetic Manipulation is a first-person puzzle platformer. The player is given a weapon that can cause metallic objects to attract. Using this, the player must figure out how to use it to their advantage to manipulate objects and complete puzzles of increasing difficulty.

The initial concept was my own, voted by the professors to be one of the design concepts that could be used in the final project. My team was put to the test, meeting weekly milestones entirely through our own cooperation. My team voted me to be our lead and I helped coordinate assignments for each of us. We designed, programmed, and created on our own, playing to our strengths as individuals.

Circuit

Circuit is played from a top-down view with the mouse controlling where the player runs. The player’s power drains over time and collecting nodes will refill their power and give them points. The game uses a short map that loops around, each room has a door that gets unlocked when a certain amount of nodes are collected. Each room entered also increases the score. Small nodes respawn a short time after being collected but large nodes that give more power and score don’t respawn at all. The goal of the game is to last as long as you can by collecting nodes. This seemingly simple game gets more complex as players plan out routs that leave big nodes over for future use.

Loot

This is a score attack game with two stages for getting points. First the player must click on the items that appear in the field to bring them into the inventory, which can hold up to ten items. They must then click on the items in the inventory to turn them into points. Bombs that are collected remove from the score. The longer the game goes on the faster the field fills up, when the field is filled with 30 items the game ends.

Shoveler

In this game you shovel snow for money as quickly as fast as you can. The money you make by shoveling can also be spent on buying upgrades to clear out more snow. The goal is to clear out all of the snow or as much as you can within the time limit. The final score is how much money you earned with bonuses for how many level sections were cleared and how much remaining time was left.
