Project: Brink
Brink is an abstract game currently under development. *Masters project
The concept of the game is to play with the idea of health and see if there is a way to spin it from normal conventions. At this point in time, it is a small prototype for my master's degree but it will be developed further in the future.

Bloomsday is a game set in an abandoned factory which was affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

VR PUZZLE GAME
SMALL DESCRIPTION FOR THE GAME ETC
Project: Walking Puzzle Game(VR)
This game was made in two days due to my device dying. Our task was to create three simple puzzles and make a themed game out of it. The video above shows a quick run through and a demonstration in VR.
This was one of the first projects I completed in unity.
Project: C++ Pictionary / Map Editor
This map editor/ tool was made entirely in C++, using visual studio and the sfml libraries. This was my first time working with C++. Within this project we learned how to save and load to a text file and more.
First time using c++
Project: Pounce hug - Game Jam
This game was made in 48 hours for the 2019 global game jam. The theme was "Home" so our team decided to make a game where you go around and hug people until they join your army. Then its a matter of hugging the entire world!! >:D
