Technical Artist

A kid from Hawaii with an earnest desire to pay it forward for what games have done for me. A long journey with many obstacles — here's what I've built along the way.

Play Two Heroes

Play Two Heroes is a mod that takes inspiration from Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and utilizes a hero switch mechanic. Players leverage a broader ability toolkit by switching between two selected heroes, creating more solutions to problems. Six core systems coded: crowd-control prevention, ultimate transfer, health percentage carry-over, switch cooldowns, momentum retention, and tiered cooldown adjustments. Notable edge cases handled include Baby D.Va's 30-second lockout and a visual indicator for cloaked Sombra. Officially acknowledged by Jeff Kaplan (Blizzard) - ranked 11th overall most-played mod by duration, 2nd highest average player retention.

Dungeon Crawler

The goal of Dungeon Crawler was to make a quick simulator for World of Warcraft's dungeon design. The idea being you can have a greater data set and feedback from testing a dungeon in simulations. Reducing playtesting time to just when you need it. This project had a very high level of scope and I realize I wouldn't have the time to dedicate much to it but it was very insightful in providing me with ideas for GUIs for game testing. Examples are shown in the agro range, line of sight, and Simple AI systems.
