Project Neon

• Implemented several movement-based abilities for the player character, such as powerslide, wallrunning, dashing, and grappling hook.

• Powerslide and wallrunning were inspired by and modeled after the same abilities found in Titanfall 2.

• Dashing was inspired by and modeled after the same ability found in Ghostrunner.

• Grappling hook was completed, but it made other movement abilities largely obsolete in the majority of our level design so it was cut to keep focus on the other abilities.

Designed and implemented all of the following enemy AI:

• Machine gun turrets.

• Sniper turrets.

• Melee enemies.

• Flying drone enemies.

• The first boss encounter. A two-stage boss fight that requires use of the environment as well as the majority of player abilities to defeat.

Modeled, animated, and implemented the player's melee weapon and all of its animations.

Implementation, 2D art assets, and materials for all of the following UI elements.

• Weapon wheel that slows time while it is open.

• Radar on the player’s HUD.

• Enemy health bars.

• Floating damage numbers.

• Dialogue pop-out HUD element.

• Current quest objectives on the player's HUD.

• Individual and team tasks were managed via Trello.

• Regular team meetings were held twice a week where issues, blocks, or new ideas could be brought up and discussed as a team.

• I remained available at all times to help other team members with any design or tech issues.

• Regular production update reports every few weeks for the class professors.

• Frequent playtesting and analysis of collated playtest data. Updating playtest questionnaires and observing during playtests.

• Wrote all in-game dialogue and text.

• Designed all of the game's enemy AI behaviors and how they would interact with the player in a fun and engaging way.

• Designed one of the challenge levels and tuned trophy times for all challenge levels based on playtest data.

• Was responsible for bringing all levels from a grayboxed state to final production. Adding lighting, surface materials, prop decorations, and coming up for a narrative reason for the area to exist.
