I'm a systems programmer and mechanics designer. I primarily work in Godot, but I'm also proficient in Unity/C#, Java, Python, and HTML. I also have experience in 3D art with Blender and Maya, as well as 2D art in GIMP and Photoshop. I believe that satisfying progression is the most important thing a game can have, and that the player's choices define their experience. I'm currently pursuing my degree in Game Design at Fitchburg State University

Pretty Powerful Potions!

Pretty Powerful Potions was a semester long group project involving myself and three others, under the name of Dippo Studios. PPP is an action based take on a tower defense game, where the goal is to use your potions, spells, and summons to prevent waves of enemies from destroying your towers.

My Contributions/Highlights:

• A scalable, wave-based enemy spawning system.
• Inheriting enemy classes with systems for navigation, attacking, stunning, and dying, each of which include animations and instantiation of scenes.
• Spells, which do things such as buff the player's damage and movement speed, create a clone of the player, and chain damage between multiple enemies.
• Potions, which do things such as deal damage over time to enemies in an area, heal towers, freeze enemies, or buff the player.
• Interchangable summons, which sit atop towers and have various effects, such as damaging enemies, slowing enemies, or healing the tower they're placed on.
