Neon Oblivion

Neon Oblivion was my final project while at University, with the largest team I've worked with. Our assignment was to take a prototype made the previous semester and transform it into a full game. The idea of the game evolved into a movement based puzzle with a focus on swinging and grappling to traverse the environment.

My role on this project was a Gameplay Engineer. During this role I did programming tasks working on gameplay mechanics as well as providing support diagnosing and fixing bugs whenever they were encountered. While not all of the mechanics I worked on made it into the final build, they were fully functional.

The mechanics I worked on were:
-The ability to manipulate a cube to trigger interactions with mechanisms and traps.
-The ability to transition between scenes containing gameplay and sections of the user interface.
-The player respawning system.
-The system that would create particles to denote when the player impacted the ground.
-The system that would allow the player to utilize checkpoints throughout the game.
-Fine tuning to the opening of doors in some levels.

On top of this I helped fix bugs with several systems including the grappling and swinging mechanics that are core to the game.
