Bug Alliance - Freelance Programming & Design
The Project
Bug Alliance is a top-down shooter that is currently in development for PC. It is the first game created by Ent-Re Games.
The game art,
sound, and final design are not my work. View the game on Steam here.
My Role
I was hired on as a UI programmer in September of 2024 thanks to my experience in GameMaker Studio. After improving menu functionality across the game, I was retained to
program some additional core gameplay systems such as a character progression system, achievements system, and powerup system.
In addition to coding new game systems
in the existing code base, I also formally audited the entire game design and wrote a detailed report on how to improve the game's loop, game feel, and overall goal. This
included addressing miscellaneous shortcomings such as mechanics that were too punishing to players or parts of the game that suffered from poor UI/UX.
I also helped
with miscellaneous project management improvements such as setting up source control and game design documentation.
Why It Matters
My work on Bug Alliance is evidence of the following:
- My love for adding value to projects in a diverse way.
- That I can find my footing and work well in existing code bases.
- That I write my code so that it can be easily understood by others.
- My effectiveness on a cross discipline team.
- That I am thorough when it comes to documentation and communication.
