Chimera

Client Project with Electronic Arts

• Tools and Game Programmer
• Implement naval warfare tactical pathing controls and combat features
• Created tools for artist to prebake environmental maps used for water
• Managed programming task distribution, asset integration, and pipeline
• Created a refraction based wet/splash post process effect optimized for iPad

Working in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Creative Officer (OCCO) at Electronic Arts, we developed a game, on the iPad, whose assets and data can be influenced by the product created by the project tEAm, headquartered in Pittsburgh. The challenge was to make a game that is completely agnostic of other media, and yet has meaningful changes occur when a player interacts with outside products.

Audio Wave

Game Design Class Prototype

This is a music game with a neat interactive plane I made along with the other effects and textures. It utilizes a convolution based mesh deformer and shader. It was a prototype that I made with Evan Li in less than 40 hours. The game is simple. Click the hexagons to the beat and get rewarded with some neat effects.

Neuraltone

Client Project with Carnegie Mellon and The Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition

• Tools and Gameplay Programmer
• Managed programming tasks, designed architecture to allow for easy customization
• Created a researcher friendly, out-of-editor, asset and level customization tool
• Made various reusable planet shaders

Nueraltone is a joint venture between the Entertainment Technology Center and The Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. Its objective is to create a game and research tool that will implicitly teach its players to recognize frequencies of sounds that their brains have naturally ignored in the past. This will allow the players to eventually learn, hear, and better understand foreign languages.
