​My Role​​

Developed From the Ashes, a solo 2D roguelike project created in Unity with C# scripting, showcasing systems-driven design, procedural generation, and fast-paced combat mechanics within a tightly scoped gameplay loop.

​

• Built a dynamic, replayable roguelike experience by implementing procedural level generation, complete with interconnected rooms, randomized shop placements, and enemy encounters.

• Scripted all player mechanics in C#, including projectile-based combat, dodge rolls, breakable objects, and item pickups, ensuring tight control responsiveness and moment-to-moment clarity.

• Designed multiple enemy archetypes with distinct behaviors, such as patrolling, chasing, ranged attacks, and retreating when threatened, creating encounters that demanded adaptability from the player.

• Integrated a functional shop system where players can spend in-game currency to restore health or adopt a non-combat ghost companion—adding a touch of personality to the dark catacomb setting.

• Balanced item drop rates, room pacing, and enemy difficulty to support repeat playthroughs and short-session gameplay, enhancing the roguelike identity of the project.

• Collaborated with a music student for the game’s original soundtrack, successfully aligning dynamic combat gameplay with emotional atmosphere through sound design.

• Managed all design, programming, and implementation as a solo developer, while sourcing and integrating visual assets externally to align with the game’s tone and style.

• Overcame the challenge of procedural room generation by scripting a robust and extensible layout system, supported by custom tracing logic and collision handling.

• Delivered a cohesive, replayable gameplay experience that reflects an understanding of roguelike mechanics, game-feel iteration, and level structure fundamentals.

• Employed GitHub for source control and project management, ensuring effective version control and structured workflow during development.​​​​​​​​​
