My first job as a game developer, I've learned so much about my time at Branch! As a junior developer, I've been working on their game, Castaways. I've had a variety of roles, from implementing AI behaviors, to backend and networking logic, to UI.
​
I've had an absolute blast working at Branch - I've learned a lot during my time here, and loved working with the entire team. I strengthened my skills not only in the Unity engine and C#, but also in cloud services such as AWS, in HLSL shader programming, and in networking.

Castaways is free to play, feel free to check it out below!

On my first fully released title, my primary role was multiplayer networking, character customization, and core game logic. With a team of 12 other people, I saw this project from inception to release, and learned a lot from it.
​
This was my first time delving into networking, and ignited my interest and passion for it. I look forward to future opportunities to work on networked projects.

A while back, I got interested in procedural generation. It's a fascinating subject, and I love how many different methods there are to procedurally generate a world, and how each algorithm produces a totally unique-feeling design.
​
Here is my journey into one algorithm I particularly enjoy, Wave Function Collapse. This is an ongoing project; when it's done, you'll simply be able to attach your spritemap and a sample image to train the data, and voila! Completely unique generated worlds.
​
You can check out the Github for the project below. It's still a work in progress.

Snow shader making tracks as player moves through
During this game jam, I tried my hand at some shaders, specifically a snow shader that tracks your path as you move through the snow. In addition, I was also responsible for the audio and core gameplay.
​
Feel free to check out the Itch for the game and give the game a try - and if you do, good luck!
