========================================================
Multiplayer CO-OP Shooter is a Unity C# online game created for a client who currently develops single-player games but wanted a base game to help them understand how to develop a multiplayer game. Through this, we reached online techniques and decided to use P4P connection due to the scope of the project and the size of the client.
The game is inspired by Call Of Duty Zombies and Resident Evil 7's Nightmare Mode.
During this project, I was the Gameplay Programmer focusing on the player character and the shooting/damage mechanics.

Doomscrolling was a Unity C# paid project created to design the first stage of a game. This game was created to show the student experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was achieved by having a mock social-media timeline that showcases the events of the pandemic with comments showing the thoughts and reactions of students. The posts also included minigames which helped express these feelings and events further.
During this project, I created the mock social media, the isolation checker, and the fence-breaking minigames.
========================================================
Zombie Shooter is a UE4 Blueprint prototype zombie 3rd person shooter game. This was created as a group for a university project to show design ability and logic when it came to blueprint programming. I am currently porting this game over to C++ to develop further.
========================================================
Maths text game is a small C++ programmed maths game where the player has to complete maths puzzles to progress. This came from the idea to expand my C++ skills while also adding gameplay and story to a text-based game.
========================================================
Swing Space Game is a C# Unity prototype based around a character using a grappling hook in space on asteroids. This idea came from the Apex Legends character Pathfinder who uses a grappling hook to traverse the map which made me think why people do not often allow full control when it comes to grappling hooks.
