Experience
- Dragon Eye Online Gamehttps://dragoneyeonline.com/
Dragon Eye Online is a massive project I have been committed to for several years. After completing a few simpler projects, I wanted to challenge myself to complete one of the most complex games to develop–an MMORPG. Dragon Eye Online is networked with a custom, real-time state solution, transported through asynchronous TCP sockets, written in C#, and persisted to a MongoDB NoSQL database.
- Dragon Eye Online Web Portalhttps://dragoneyeonline.com/
Dragon Eye Online’s website serves as a companion app to the game client. Written in TypeScript using Express.js and React, the website serves as a marketing tool and a secure interface for payments, account management, and support.
- Minesweeper
As a new team, we decided to recreate the classic game, Windows Minesweeper, to build cohesion as a team before starting a more complex game. As a team of four (4), we used the Unity game engine to recreate the original mechanics and add some entertaining extras.
- SheBlahBlah Hungers
SheBlahBlah Hungers was a group project during the final year of my bachelor’s program. As a team of five, we used the Unity game engine to create a four-player lobby game. The game uses physics to create a light-hearted competitive experience.
