Spellthief
PC | 2019 | 2D Action Platformer
Spellthief is a fast paced action platformer where you simultaneously
play as both Clyde the thief, as well
as Oliver
the mage. As you fight your way through the relentless waves of mobs and gain new skills,
uncover the dark
secret that
ties the two unbeknownst adventurers.
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.
