Game mechanic made in Unreal Engine 5 as part of third-year university coursework.

The project was fully made using C++ with minimal blueprint useage for UI.

The mechanic uses a status effects component to apply different effects to placeholder enemies based on the bullet type fired:

• Set enemies on fire dealing damage over time, the fire spreads to other burnable enemies
• Turn enemies into the centre of a "gravity field", pulling other objects towards them
• Turn an enemy into a "stacking bomb" that explodes after a time and is stronger the more times it is applied

When taking damage the placeholder enemies will flash and display the damage recently taken.

"Two in the Chamber" is a two-player platform fighter for the PS5 made using the in-house engine, Skateboard, as part of university coursework.

Two players control characters that can use different weapons with different characteristics to fight one another as well as collect upgrades to improve their strength.

I worked on the game in a group as one of three programmers.

Features I worked on

• Weapon Switching
• Weapon Firing
• Character Upgrade System
• Dynamic Music System
• Single Player Mode

Under Construction!

Made as part of first year university coursework using SFML, Bullet Hell Infinite is an "infite runner" game where the player must dodge dozens of projectiles and enemies to survive.

While playing different power-ups can be collected to empower to player and change how their ship behaves:

• Double Shot
• Triple Shot
• Super Speed
• Invincibility
• Healing

At the end of a game the player's score is saved to a file and the top scores can be viewed from the menu.
