I am BSc (Hons) Computer Games Technology student, and an aspiring Gameplay Programmer, specialising in XR, Physics and Technical Art.
I am a passion driven Dev who enjoys experimenting with new technology and methods to create awesome engaging experiences and gameplay. I enjoy developing games that make use of fun Physics and innovative gameplay mechanics.
I am proficient in both Unreal Engine and Unity with Programming Skills in C# along side other tools such as Unreal Material Editor and Various XR dev toolkits
Ocean Shader and Custom Buoyancy project
This project showcases an Ocean shader and custom buoyancy for gameplay objects in Unreal Engine 5.
This project explores the use of Unreal Engine's Material Editor to create a dynamic ocean shader which can be used in the creation of a sailing game. The project also looked at how custom components can be made in Unreal to increase code reusability and improve dev time. The main example of this in this project is the Buoyancy component which can be applied to any in-game object to make them float and react to the waves from the shader
The project was developed in 12 weeks and through the project I learned a verity of new techniques and understanding of how shader can be developed and how gameplay mechanics can be used in collaboration with them.
The project was challenging to undertake with a few issues still present but overall, I am happy with results of the project.
Mixed Reality Project
This Mixed Reality project makes use of the Meta Quest 3 VR headset. It explores the use of Mixed reality to create fun and engaging immersive games as well as, how Mixed Reality technology can be used to blend virtual worlds with the real.
This project was created in under 12 weeks and was also submitted to the Innovate UK Immersive Tech awards during the trimester. Through the project I explored many aspects of Mixed reality and rendering techniques to blend realities. For example: Stencil shaders for portal effects and destructible meshes and Passthrough shaders for breaking down the walls and showing the real world.
This was a challenging project to undertake with the technology being used still in its relative infancy which made finding relevant resources and development help tricky. Overall, I am very proud of what I achieved with this project.
