BOUNDLESS (AWARD-WINNING GAME)
Role: Level Programmer/Level Designer
Boundless is a game that was developed in 48 hours for the Newbies & Vets game jam at USC. Our team of 8 (which I was considered a "veteran" on) were awarded the "Best Overall Game" award at the final showcase. We made a game that fuses the dark atmosphere and brutal gameplay of Dark Souls with a unique phase-changing mechanic. I was a Level Designer/Level Programmer. My main jobs included co-designing the map layouts, building the map in Unity (with tilesets), programming interactive objects, and making cutscenes. Although we finished the game for the event, we are actively developing a full version of it (with the current codenames being Project Rat and Idris).

EXPERIMENTS IN UNREAL ENGINE 4 (LEVEL DESIGN)
Role: Level Designer (educational experience)
Although I have never made a game with Unreal Engine 4, I am incredibly interested in learning about how it works. Currently, I am focusing on how programming and design works within the engine. The video above is the very first level I've created using UE4. My only goal was to create a functional level that used a variety of prop elements (lighting, particles, meshes, etc.) so that I could learn how the components of the engine operate. This is my first step in mastering UE4.
Assets used:
Action RPG Kit: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/slug/action-rpg
Stylized Dungeon Pack: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/slug/stylized-pbr-dungeon-pack

SMILE MEDICINE
Role: Narrative Game Designer
Smile Medicine is a narrative-driven game being developed by Dovecloud at the University of Southern California. I am acting as a narrative game designer, ensuring that the gameplay serves to translate and expand upon the game's story.

OPERATOR
Role: Main Programmer, Main Artist, Sole Designer, Sole Writer
Operator is a game title entirely predicated on a player-driven narrative. The player is a resource officer in the CBI, India's intelligence agency. They are tasked with directing a captured field agent, voiced by Akshaya Pattanayak, out of a Chinese military base. At each room, the player must rely on sensory data that the field agent provides them, along with using previously learned information, to safely navigate him out of the facility. Along the way, they gather intelligence on the next major attack the Chinese military is planning. There are currently four unique endings planned. It is somewhat based on my earlier Snatched demo, hence the visual similarities.
Please note that:
-The script is organized by room/outcomes based on player choice
-While all the audio is in Hindi for immersion purposes, the script has English translations and the final game includes English subtitles
-The game only runs on Windows
The demo (which has installation instructions in its download file) can be downloaded here
If the game does not run, please view the media above.
The finalized dialogue can be read here

SNATCHED
Role: Sole Developer
Snatched is a game that exists entirely within the confines of a simulated operating systems. Through solving puzzles, such as decoding audio files or deciphering hidden notes, you will find out what happened to the original owner of this abandoned laptop.
The demo above can be downloaded here
(headphones strongly recommended/audio required)
NOTE: Demos are early builds of a game and are NOT representative of the final product. All assets have been created by me, with the exception of:
-Some additional art provided by Adobe Stock
-VHS Pro
-Startup sound (temporarily using the Windows 98 startup sound)
NOTE: work on this demo has been used to create my newer game, Operator, which means that Snatched will no longer become a fully-fledged game
