Development

Spellthief, a first-year university game project, was a one semester project (roughly four months) created by a team of four, including myself.

I took on the roles of Graphics Programmer, where I integrated OpenGL into the game engine for rendering (with a focus on particles for effects), Physics Programmer where I handled rotational AABBs with a force based system, and Composer, where soundtracks for the game was composed from scratch. Additionally, I created art assets for particles, weapon and skill effects, UI and other miscellaneous work. I was also in charge of sound effects, voice recording and mastering.

As a freshmen project, we were extremely proud of our achievements, being finalists for our school’s game awards in categories where we were competing against second year projects who had twice as much development time as we had.
