Celestial Carnage
This was a group project, based off the arcade game 'Missile Defence', where we turned it into a 2.5D, two-player city defence game. I was responsible for the UI, power-ups, turret and shooting logic, X-Wing enemies and integrating the sound effects.
Custom Controllers
This project is about building my own third-person character controller and custom ground vehicle controller instead of using Unity’s built-ins. The character uses a rigidbody-based movement system, and the cars use my own physics for suspension, steering and traction to control how they feel to drive.
Dungeon Generator
This project is a 2D dungeon crawler with a procedurally generated layout every run. Rooms, enemies and traps are placed at random, and the enemies use an A* pathfinding grid to chase the player through the dungeon.
