For the past 5 years, I've built multiple projects in multiple languages (GDScript, C++, C#), both solo and collaborating with others.

My main focus is creating strong gameplay systems, experimenting with custom frameworks and engine level programming, and publishing games on platforms such as Steam, Itch.io and Gamejolt.

ROKUZA (Roblox Yakuza Fan-game)
2025 [Team] [Roblox]

Clip #1 provided by Oy, Clips #2-3 provided by Alt

ROKUZA is a Free For All Brawler based on the Yakuza Franchise, while I have worked on the original version of the game, we decided to completely rewrite it to have a cleaner codebase and avoid the issues presented in the original game.

I worked on the main combat mechanics and UI, listed below:

• Combat Mechanics (Combos, Finishers, Dash, Guard)
• Unique Skills
• Fighting Style Switching
• Heat (Gauge gained in Combat allowing for Super Moves aka 'Heat Actions')
• Saving and Loading of Player Data
• Displaying Player Health, Heat, Current Fighting Style, Achievements
• Taunting

ROKUZA's rewrite has improved the maintainability, plus with the more extendable system, now allows for easier production and release of updates.
The current version as of 10/29/25 has reached 2.6k visits on Roblox.

Skills Gained:

• Collaborating with others
• Creating a Basic Anti-Cheat
• Distinction between Client and Server
• Creating a Cross-Platform Game (Mobile, Console, PC)

Goober Fishing
2025 [Solo] [No Engine]

Goober Fishing is a fishing game made with SDL3 and C++, with gameplay and a custom lightweight engine created by me.

This project required that I implement my own update loop, handle memory, input and rendering without using a pre-existing game engine.

It was a huge step forward in my knowledge of C++ and SDL.

Skills Gained:

• Memory Management (Freeing & Loading Textures and Systems)
• Deeper C++ & SDL3 Knowledge
• Reusable UI Systems for Dynamic Text
• Creating a Custom Lightweight Engine (Input, Logic, Rendering)
