Nuluma

Nuluma is a 2D side scrolling Action Platformer where you traverse a dangerous world attempting to escape the certain peril within. Nuluma was created as a semester long project for MI497 (Fall 2017), a class in MSU's GameDev program. This project is still currently under development.

FerroCity, a fast paced action defense game, was developed as one of 3 5-week games I worked on for MI455, one of the classes along MSU's GameDev track. This game originally started out as a traditional Tower Defense game, but halfway through, pivoted into a user-controlled turret style of TD. This project was completed in May 2017.

    - Programmed all of the in-game Systems, UI, and Mechanics.

    - Worked closely with the Art team to develop VFX, and implement assets throughout the game.
