Game Development

Solo indie game development in Unreal Engine 5. Building Precinct: ZERO end-to-end — design, programming, animation, VFX, and level work — as a senior creative who wants to own every layer of the pipeline

FEATURED PROJECT - PRECINCT: ZERO

Precinct: ZERO is an arcade-style shooter built solo in Unreal Engine 5, designed for tight combat feel and high replay value. Every system in the game is hand-built — gameplay logic, character animation, particle effects, and level design. The project keeps me current on modern game development pipelines and forces me to solve problems across the full discipline stack.

WHAT I BUILT

  • Built gameplay systems in Blueprints including weapon mechanics, enemy AI, player progression, and combat feedback loops

  • Created and rigged character animations from scratch — player locomotion, combat behaviors, and reactive states in Unreal's animation system

  • Designed real-time VFX in Niagara, including muzzle flashes, impact effects, and environmental detail

  • Authored level design and pacing across multiple combat arenas, balancing sightlines, cover, and replayability

  • Managing all aspects of pre-launch including Steam page preparation, marketing, and community building
