A VR rhythm game I’m creating that is based on the game Trombone Champ, a rhythm game that requires the player to be hitting the right note as well as hitting the right timing.

Features:

• VR trombone model
• Practice mode
• Upload custom song files (WIP)
• Score system (WIP)

I started making this project for a class but now I currently work on adding and improving to it in my spare time in the hopes of releasing it on Steam for free. It was my second time every making a project in the Unreal Engine game engine, and it was my first time ever developing a game in UE.

What I was able to learn from this project:

• Become familiar with Unreal Engine 5.0+
• Learn the basics of 3D modelling using Blender
• Learn fundamental principles for designing a rhythm game system
• Learn about community-made Unreal Engine plugins to implement a MIDI converter

A short game centered around puzzles and riddles to solve the mystery surrounding the main character. Created by me and Ingrid He for our Game Development class final, titled Your Name.

Features:

• Atmospheric short mystery story
• Level exploration
• Riddles
• Puzzle levels

I programmed the gameplay for Your Name and Ingrid created the visual assets and designed the levels. Ingrid has had experience working in Unity’s game engine but we decided to go with using GameMaker Studio 2 for its ease of use.

What I was able to learn from this project:

• Level design
• Code a variety of puzzle mechanics into the game
• Source control and multi-user editing
