FREELANCE
GOLF - Made in Unity
Sole Unity Developer - I had to create this golf game (1 hole) from scratch using tools such as Unity, Photoshop, Maya. I had been given the task to create just one hole to be completed from hitting off the tee to putting the ball and obtaining a score against the hole's par.
The game had been scripted in C#, all 3D assets have been modelled in Maya and all sprites/textures have been created in Photoshop. The entire project took roughly a month.
DYNAMIC DIFFICULTY ADJUSTMENT (DDA)
My final major project (FMP) for my degree on Games Design and Development. An investigation into improving player experience using dynamic difficulty adjustment through modelling player performance.
This project judges the players performance and adjusts the difficulty to help them achieve FLOW.
FINISHED PROJECT
