Voidloop

Roguelite mining game for PC, iOS and Android

For my third year at the University of Portsmouth I choose to undertake a self employed placement year, where I created my own game studio named Indie Game Studio.I then spent the following year creating my debut game named Voidloop, a mining and exploration game for desktop and mobile featuring procedural generation, mining, combat, loot systems, upgrading and more.While I didn't meet my self-imposed deadline of summer, I continued working on the game into my third year with a planned release of April 2026.

group / game jam

Peewee Power

Retro arcade beat-em-up

From January 22-26 I grouped up with 6 strangers from my University to participate in the Global Game Jam 2024, with the theme of 'Make Me Laugh'. We decided to make an arcade beat-em-up where you play as an angry penguin getting revenge on humanity.I was responsible for 90% the games code, while other members handled models, animation, design and production.We managed to create a polished product for the jam, and it was a huge hit with players at the University showcase event . Working as a team was so enjoyable that we continued working on the project, polishing and expanding the mechanics, eventually releasing for free on Itch.We were also able to showcase our game at the Barclays Game Frenzy 2024, which was an incredible opportunity that allowed us to help spread the game and gather valuable feedback.

Space Exploration Demo

Explorable planetary gravity simulation

Created in University for an API Module, in which we were tasked with choosing an API to create a fairly-complex project with and show off our programming ability. I chose to use the Unreal API to make a simple space exploration game.For this I needed to create many custom systems within Unreal, such as planetary player movement and gravity, hover and boost mechanics, a solar system with orbiting planets and more!I recieved an 84% on the assignment.
